Our Valentine's Day

Some might say we make a big deal out of Valentine's Day.  I agree!  One year, I started a family Valentine dinner and now it's our tradition.  The kids and I go all out; it's our Valentine gift to everyone!  This year was no exception.  We made decorations for the wall and table.  (Notice the heart-shaped coasters by every plate.  Valentine table covering is courtesy of my mom, the seamstress.  XO, Mom!)

 We made up a menu, giving appropriate names to all the food.  The menu was as follows: Kiss-Me Spaghetti with Hug-Me Meatballs, Tie-the-Knot Rolls, Love-at-First-Bite Salad, Sweetheart Tea, Be-Mine Milk, and Apple-of-My-Eye Cheesecake.

Then we all sit down and enjoy!

 

 Everyone save room for dessert: Bavarian Apple Torte (aka Apple of My Eye Cheesecake)!

 Our little cupids sure do love our special Valentine's Day celebration, and we sure do love them!
