Our yearly "Heart Day" tradition! Kids {oh who am I kidding....adults too!} love repetition! Repetition in daily & yearly happenings. I started our Valentines candle light dinner about 4 years ago & my girls LOVED every second of the evening.......so a tradition it's become! It really is very simple yet I think just the added effort I put forth in setting the table extra special along with a couple small "gifts" & adding a handmade goodness by them makes it "fancy" in their minds! This year we had our dinner on Sunday evening.....thank GOODNESS cause this momma fell into a nasty sickness just minutes after eating {and still recovering}!
I found these FUN plates {1/2 off} right after Christmas, tucking them away for this extra special night! {you can find them here} The kids can decorate this female face with their food making dinner even more fun! I set a pink recycled {out of yogurt cups} toothbrush on top of their plates, quite fitting for this candy laden holiday wouldn't you say! {neat thing about this toothbrush is once your done with it, you tuck it back into the sleeve & send it back to the company who makes it! shipping is free on them!}
On the menu:
Salad with fresh veggies & ranch
Punch- equal parts of Pomegranate/Cranberry Juice & Orange/Pineapple Juice with dollops of Pineapple Sorbet
Mini vases with fresh flowers by each plate
