They had the table set beautifully with china, and some chocolate on each plate. Its late enough after Valentines Day that with my scrambled gushy organ they call my brain I can't even remember what we had for dinner,(Besides the cupcakes...yeah, they were that good!) but I recall thinking it was good :)
Beside each plate they had cut out a paper heart, glued tiny little red hearts for decorations, stuck an individual Bible verse on the bottom of each (customized for personality) decorated the edges and wrote "Things we love about_____________"
Sad to say as much as I looked around, some of the paper hearts are missing. Maybe these certain people hid them in their drawers to remind themselves what people think of them when they're down, or maybe they scoffed and threw them away before I could get around to stealing them, but I thought it would be fun to write down a little of what each one said. :-)
