{My Valentine's}

I made the kids stay in their Sunday clothes to take pictures - first shot I've EVER gotten of all three smiling simultaneously pre-photoshop. Hurray! It CAN be done!
We had a fun night with the kids - they didn't really care for the steak and lobster, but the root beer and strawberry milk is always a hit (the awesome glass bottles it comes in is a nice bonus, too.). Just so you don't get too jealous, the meat left something to be desired. I hate it when that happens -- I keep thinking I'm going to figure out how to cook one of these days, but expensive fancy foods are still beyond me (in spite of my brother-in-law's efforts to educate me.). At least the pictures look good. And thank you, Marie Callendar for the pie - I know how to do that! :)

I hope you had some good lovin' on Valentine's day this year!!

How fun! The flowers are beautiful! And the pictures of the kids are great!!
I tried to make V-Day brownies with Bailey but she wasn't interested. I can't wait for her to be old enough to celebrate fun dates with me, especially when her dad is not around.
Thanks for sharing your pictures. I love your collages!

First - I love the pictures of the kids!! Those are fabulous! Congrats on all three smiling! Wow!

Second - where do you get your fonts? I love them so much! :)

Tara said...

Thanks, girls! For the fonts -- the scripty font is called Sweetheart Script and you have to pay for it (I found it for $19 when I googled it), but the other two are free downloads from Urban Fonts (http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Downcome.htm). One is called Downcome and the other is Diesel. Just do a search and it'll give 'em to you. I love fun fonts!! :)

What a fun and special Valentine's DAy. You are so creative.

Katie said...

Yay! I am downloading those fonts right after I get my hair cut... and for the record, I can't cook fancy foods either. Lobster always tastes nasty when I make it... a sure sign that we should only have lobster when we go out to eat!

Rachel said...

I can't help but wonder, is root beer milk actually good? Because it doesn't sound particularly appetizing...

I wish I had your talents for arranging pictures and making a good looking website.

Waht a wonderful photo of your little ones! The food looks delicious to me. Ask Rick sometime about our famous home cooked steak dinner:) I'll check out those fonts too. Thanks!

Darling pictures of your kids!
I also don't know how to do expensive meats. But, I've found that creating exotic foods is often a success. Thai food is my favorite. It always turns out yummy! Coconut milk, curry, lime, garlic. You can't miss with those flavors!
