I made heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast this morning. For dinner I made heart-shaped mini meatloaves and I formed the mashed potatoes into a big heart as well. Cheesy? Maybe, but it was fun. I got the idea for heart shaped meat loaf and potatoes from a gal at Paper Petal Memories. (Thanks Karen!)
We don't have a lot of our "very own" traditions. So last year I decided to start one of our own and make Valentine's Day a fun day for our family. I decorate for the occasion and try to have as much fun with it as possible. I hope it will be memorable for our kids.
Tomorrow, Ruthi is having a little party here with a couple of her friends. She has been talking about her "bawenstines" party for about a week now. I hope it measures up to her expectations!
I'll share pictures from today - tomorrow. I still have quite a bit to do tonight, so I'm not going to try upload them from my camera right now. But I will get them on here before the weekend is over!
I saw this little question/answer thing on Stacey's blog and thought it was fun, so I'm going to do it here.

Who kissed who first?
I kissed him first. But he wanted it.

Neither really - he offered to drive me home from church one night, so I could go out to eat with everyone. (maybe that was our first "date"?) I called him to ask him to go on a group thing. He then invited me to a concert...never really a "will you go out with me" kind of thing. We just started hanging out and it progressed pretty quickly.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!
We have a few fun little traditions here for Valentines Day...I make chocolate dipped strawberries for breakfast and heart-shaped M&M pancakes for supper.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun little meme!
Glad you had such a fun day!
i loved hearing your voice and am planning on leaving you a message soon. i am even going to try to add it to my site-on my to do list!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day and I hope the party went well! Nice thing about kids Ruthi's age is that is generally doesn't take much to really thrill them so I am sure the party was great!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I bet your kids loved their Valentine's Day dinner. How creative.
ReplyDeleteI may have to borrow that quiz. TOO cute. I laughed out loud with the kissing question. (But he wanted it) That made my night.
