Valentines Dinner

I've been late in blogging recently, but so much has been happening! The highlight of February was definitely our second annual Valentines Dinner, which was in a "Mad Men" or early 1960s theme (Liza's vision). Guests came in costume and brought dishes true to the era (think jelly molds and processed foods!) and Jeff and Don did a tasting, picking winners. My personal favorites were the crown of frankfurters (courtesy of Meg, see below) and the canned veggie pie (proudly presented by the Cotes). We served a sit-down Italian meal for 20 guests on 3 tables. It turned out to be a fun evening! More importantly, after going down a little late, the kids slept through the whole thing!! Here are a few shots of the party.
