Palmer Pizzeria

For Valentine's Day I asked my Hubby to help me start a collection of fun thing for special themed family nights. The first set I wanted was a "pizza bistro" theme. He got me authentic "coke" cups, a pizza stand, 2 parmesan cheese shakers, a red & white gingham table cloth, a drink pitcher & 2 red crackle candle holders. I bought red paper plates & red & white gingham napkins until I can get real ones. I absolutely LOVE our pizza bistro stuff & look forward to lots of family nights with this fun theme! I'm thinking we can use it for any Italian food like lasagna, calzones, stromboli & lots more I'm sure. Slowly, over the course of a few weeks, we had been receiving different things by UPS for this & so the suspense was building & it was really exciting for our little girls! I told them that it was all a part of a surprise for family night & that they would get to see it when we got everything we needed. It was funny & cute to watch them try to guess & figure out what in the world it could be! If you haven't noticed by now, I LOVE SURPRISES!!!!!!! (they love em as much as I do too! My Hubby, not so much! He can hardly stand to keep any special thing a secret! It's cute, he loves to bless us so much that it's hard for him to contain himself about a surprise for us! Just one of about a billion reasons why I love my sweet man!) I really love keeping special things a secret & seeing the look on my family's face when they finally find out! I'm trying to figure out who had more fun with it, my family or me! I think it was a tie! : ) We used it for the first time this week & it was as awesome as I hoped it would be! I had it all set up & when the pizza was delivered, Daddy called them all to come eat at the "Palmer Pizzeria"! They were so excited! It was so much fun for my Hubby & I to see our girls so excited! I want my girls & I to learn to make our own pizza but for the first night I wanted it to be a surprise. (Actually my Hubby is probably gonna be the one to want to learn & then teach all his girls! He loves to cook & is actually very good at it!) Since we can't go out as often as we like to have family night, I'm so happy we can make it fun & special! : ) I'm so grateful for my sweet & amazing Hubby who loves to bless our girls & I with fun & special things! ♥
