Traditional Valentine's Dinner

Every year I think...oh we don't need to have our fansy Valentine's Dinner.....but it would just crush the family. Funny how traditions become so important for a family to hold on to. Some years we have placed a heart trail from where our daddy normally comes home, so that he can fallow them home for dinner. One year we had a heart on each plate, and before dinner we wrote one thing that we love about each member of the family. Then everyone kept that heart posted in their rooms. Well...as you can see this tradition will be around for a while.

This year was special. We have had our dad home more than normal, because he is recooperating from a rotators cuff/bicep surgery. There has been love in the air....because we have all had to have extra love and compassion. He is doing really well. Some days we have to hide the car keys and him to stop doing what he is doing, but other than that we want him to gain a full recovery.

The color red just spells love. We love to get all festive and decorate the table all in red linens and candles. We splurged and had king crab legs. Once dinner is served....you know it is a good one if all of sudden it gets really quiet. Everyone is so in to dissecting their dinner. Then all you hear is "OH...look at this piece"! We all got so full and had to keep telling how yummy it was. It was good to have our grandparents with us. We would be so lonely without family near us.

Hope everyone know how much love the Farrow's have to give. We love you!!!!
