We try to make Valentine's Day special for the kids and somehow that often ends up revolving around festive food! True to form we started the day with pink, heart-shaped cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
Liam had a heart-shaped tortilla instead!
I packed heart-shaped sandwiches for the kids' lunches and headed off to school. I had a pretty nice morning at school as I joined our fifth grade students on a field trip to hear the
Grand Rapids Symphony. They performed an excellent concert and the students really seemed to enjoy it! I took half of a personal day in the afternoon so that I could join Lillian at school for her Valentine's Day party. We had a great time together!
After school the kids were very excited to open their valentines.
We enjoyed time together as a family and made pink, heart-shaped waffles for "brinner" (breakfast + dinner = brinner).
Afterward I had the idea that we should capitalize on Liam's chubby, cherubic cuteness and transform him into cupid for a special Valentine's Day photo shoot.
Of course I had to take Valentine's Day pictures of the other kids too!
We ended the evening with cheesecake fondue for dessert. It was a fun, memorable, not-so-healthy day!
