Cupid's Cafe

Last Friday night, we had our 7th Annual Cupid's Cafe. This is a tradition that I started when Kevin and I were dating and have done it every year since around Valentines Day. Basically, it's just code for me making a nice dinner with side dishes (not JUST a main dish) and the table decorated in a "Valentiney" theme. :) Normally, I make the same thing: steaks (thanks Mom), twice-baked potatoes, sauteed zucchini, garlic bread, and cherry tarts. Last year, Caleb was 3 weeks old so he just slept through our dinner. This year, he was VERY involved and wanted to "help" me cook and set up. :) I decided at the last minute that we should dress up just in time for Kevin to arrive.


When Kevin and I first started dating, my little brother and sister were 11 (it is hard to believe that they will be 19 in a couple weeks). My sister made this adorable sign to put up at my parent's house for Cupid's Cafe and I really wish I would have kept it. Maybe in a couple years, Caleb can make a cute sign for us.

Cherry Tarts


It must be a special occasion...I NEVER set the table anymore.




I am amazed how much Caleb looks like Kevin in this picture...both are so cute!

My shaggy-haired little man in a suit! I know it is nearing the time for his first haircut, but I am fighting it all the way. He has cute little curls in the back and I am not ready for him to be big enough to have a haircut. Oh well, the shaggy look is in style now for baby boys...right?

Wow! That was a really nice dinner! I don't know if I've ever made a table look like that. :) I love how happy your family always looks.
