Dinner has been enjoyed outdoors

Now that spring is here and we are thankful for this amazing weather, dinner has been enjoyed outdoors~ Not every night but here and there. Allen is working longer hours then normal right now. Although its hard on us all we are thankful he has a job. With this being said the kids and I decided to give him a little surprise dinner. How do you like the kids decorations beside the table. Daddy loved them. As you can see this handy down table with the mismatched chairs and two of them about the break is not what one would call nice~ But it is for us. We make the best of memories sitting around this table in these old chairs spending time as a family. After dinner Allen and I get a chance to visit as the kids run off to play in the yard. This evening was later enjoyed with time in the hammock and kids with dirty faces. Thanking the Lord for this sweet simple time in our lives~ Here's to you making lasting memories with the ones around you~

I have yet to set the table outdoors this years. We have eaten finger foods out and hot off the grill. You have inspired me! :)
