The boys and I had a lot of fun planning Paul's promotion dinner celebration for Friday night. It was just for the four of us celebrating Paul's recent promotion to Staff Sergeant (E6) and it was a nice, laid back evening at home.
We started the evening with a game of "Staff Sergeant Daddy Says..."
Judah toasted his daddy's accomplishments with some tasty Apple Cider.
Judah and I made this centerpiece earlier in the week. He impressed me with his craftiness! Judah tore up the paper and attached it to the cardboard and then attached all the Army men with double sided tape. I added the sticker flag attached to a Popsicle stick stuck in a mound of Play-doh.
Some of the other table decorations.
Paul grilled steaks and pork chops for dinner. I'd marinated them in a coffee marinade and they were *amazing*!!
As a nod towards the Army I packaged our dinner in tinfoil and then placed them in these MRE-style bags. I designed and printed the labels on the computer and then attached the labels to brown lunch bags.
Congrats Babe for all the hard work you did to get to where you are!! xoxo
