Valentine Dinner

I have been kind of bummed that all my party stiff is back in Oregon in a storage unit. Knowing that party season is about to click in high swing, and wishing that I had my stuff. Because if I don't have it I can't use it or I have to go buy it. With it being Valentine's Day I wanted to do our fun family dinner like previous years. I hadn't really planned anything, but I had some ideas. After I picked the kids up from school I asked them what they wanted to do for dinner; breakfast in bed, pink and red dinner, or a dress up dinner. Kallie wanted a dress up dinner and the other kids wanted a pink and red breakfast. We stopped at the store and I found some things I can turn red and pink and a heart shape cookie cutter. 

 Got home and Kyle help me make the pink pancakes, pink muffins, heart shape sausage, strawberry yogurt w/ strawberries and pink milk. We had the kids stay upstairs until it was time for dinner so that they would be surprised. I also had them find anything red or pink to wear to dinner.

 We had one little one, Karlee, who really didn't want to wait out the surprise with the other kids. She kept yelling up to the others what were doing downstairs. Wanting them to come down too. 

 Finally the time came when we had everything was ready to go. The kids came down dressed in their pink and red clothes. And we enjoyed a fun family dinner and the kids loved it, they talked for the rest of the week and wondering what are going to do for Valentine dinner next year. Kallie wants to do a formal dinner, maybe we just will have to do that. I hope that you all had a Happy Valentine's Day with your love ones.
