Love Fest 2012

This year for our Love Fest we made a 5 course French meal and ate it by candlelight!
Everyone made one of the courses, which they served to us.  It was a lot of fun!
During each course we talked about one of the kids and then made a toast to them.
Kaleb made a tasty Green Bean & Tomato Vinaigrette salad with french bread.
Katry made French Onion soup.  Sooo good!
Brig's dish was the trickiest.  He made a Parisian Gnocchi with Cream and Tomatoes.
It was delicious!
Seth made an amazing Tartiflette.  Cheesy, bacony, potato goodness.
Dad grilled rib eye steak to Perfection!
For dessert we have Creme Brulee- for tonight.  We were way too full to eat it yesterday.
Of course, after the meal everyone had to see if they could stuff their fist in their mouth.
Almost caught her trying!
The most successful- ie the biggest mouth!
A Five Course meal does have its drawbacks.  The cleanup was monumental and we had used just about every pan.  Poor Seth- he was on pan duty.
It was a fantastic evening.  Full of Love!

Good ideas!!! Looks like a great day at your house!!! Except for dishes - I hate dishes. I need to not let clean up deter me from such a bonding experience . . . sadly it often does.
I posted a quote I stole from your blog months ago and put it on my 2/14 post!!! Got lots of positive comments from it - so thanks!
Thankful I met your family in this life! (:
