family dinner

the kids were super duper excited about dinnertime last night for a number of reasons:

(1) i made chicken giardina (sp?) from the olive garden recipe website. (it used to be my very favorite dish at the restaurant, but they haven't had it available in a while.)

(2) it smelled delicious, and the kids were starving.

(3) tablecloth + about 18 lit candles (hello, mr. fire chief? what seems to be the problem?) + all other lights turned off.

(4) goblets...

(5) ...full of soda...

(6) ...but mostly the goblets (caffeine-free pepsi for carson, caffeine-free mtn dew for layla, who announced, "mmmmm! i LOVE caf-free!" what the abbrev? wonder where she got that habit...)

(7) atmosphere of fanciness. and feeling pretty special because it was just for them, just because.

feeling a little sick lately, addie posed for the camera as quite the nugget of joy that you see above.

i sure love these guys.
