The girls and I received a special surprise from Daddy. The night before Valentine's Day, Nick presented us with a small 3x5 printed invitation that he had made at work. It read,
"Please join me for a Valentine's Day Dinner
Tomorrow evening, February 14th
Meet me at the dinner table at 6:00 p.m.
You are special to me"
I smiled with glee, knowing I wouldn't have to cook!
Sooooo....the next Day (Valentine's Day) we set up the table for dinner....see above picture. Nick came home with a second printed card displaying the "menu" for the evening. (see photo below) Even baby Muffin-top got her own personalized menu complete with "nummies" (mommy's milk) for dessert.
He pretended to be a waiter at a fine restaurant, seating us at a candlelit table, serving us our surprise "fine cuisine" and entertaining us in his usual, comical manner.
All I can say is....Nick is one of a kind. I reminded the girls that not all daddies do things like this. This puzzled them greatly since they assume that all daddies do! My gratitude grew as I realize more and more how high the bar has been set for them. Thank you Papa Tom and Dabada. It starts with the parents.
P.S. Mommy got her own menu too. Caesar Salad, Pan-Seared Sea Scallops, Balsamic Mustard Glazed Salmon, Spinach Risoto and a bottle of Red Zin...yummy!
