"The Chef" arrived this evening...

... and turned this.













...into this.




It was wonderful! Thank you wonderful Leonardsons for a fantastic evening. We are honored to call you all friends - and yes, for more than just the food.

The adults sat around the table savoring our meal of grilled salmon, mango salsa of sorts, steamed carrots, grilled radicchio and leafy greens with heirloom tomatos marinated in balsamic vinaigrette and discussed sin and our fallen human selves in light of what God offers... we talked about the heroic feats of husbands in the face of danger... or desire. Kyle and I topped off the evening with our own boxed brownies and store-bought ice cream served alongside some Kirkland coffee -- freshly brewed, of course!

The kids watched Mary Poppins and jumped on the couch... wrestled and argued as though they were brothers and sisters... and began to deteriorate at the hour of 9:30pm. When the parents (all 4 of us) decided the fight of keeping the kids entertained and well-behaved was harder than bringing the evening to a close we called it quits. The Leonardson family of 5 scurried out the door and the Scheis turned out the lights and huddled down to blog and watch TV. A perfect evening.





We appreciate each of you and can't wait to do this again.

God bless you. Sleep tight.
