Dinner a la candle light!

Sometimes, just for the heck of it, our family will get out the candles, grab some fancy wine glasses and have dinner by candle light for no good reason at all.

It makes us feel special. Like we are in a fancy restaurant or something. Try it sometime, the kids love it and it's nice for us moms and dads too since we don't get to have candle lit dinners very often. Spicy!!

Here are Camille and Cole right before we dished up.
On the menu, spaghetti, texas toast, pears and milk served in a crystal wine goblet.

Picture taken by Camille of her little brother eating before he was supposed to. Ah ha, caught in the act!


Here is my point of view from my seat at the table.

Another picture by Camille of Cole and the Chef!

Another great night at the House house.

Ha ha.....we do that too! We love it, and more often than not, the menu is spaghetti and texas toast. I especially like it because Tana and Kota always try to 'surprise' me by dressing up really nice and drawing me a card. (Kind of hard since they have to go through the kitchen to get to their bedrooms, but I pretend not to notice......LOL). Glad to know we're not the only ones that think dinner is best served in candle light. ;0)

What a great idea! We may have to try that one of these days. I'm sure my girls would enjoy having a "special" dinner. Thanks for the great idea! (Love the last pic that Camille took. At least she didn't get you with your mouth full!)
