our much anticipated annual family valentine's dinner was a special time with the kids... it included heart shaped pasta, salad, bread & strawberry cake with valentine's sprinkles. the boys' favorite part each year is opening the valentine's box. inside the box is a gift for each family member tied to a ribbon that extends to that person's plate. there is much discussion throughout dinner as to what is tied to their ribbon...oh the suspense. :) this year I made t-shirts with the kids names on them. recently i made some for a friend and my boys saw them, commenting that they didn't "have one of those"...now they do. we ended the dinner sharing what we love about each person in our family, it was a precious conversation. love those moments....all the hard work to make life happen with 4 kids seems to fade away when we have times together like this one! so we enjoy themed family dinners...hmmmmm....maybe I should create them more often...something to ponder.
