Yay! Valentine's Day is just around the corner and that makes me so happy. I love Valentine's Day...I love all Holidays but this one in particular comes at just the right time. Christmas is now well over, the New Year has began and just when I'm feeling so done with winter, they throw in Valentine's Day (followed by Family Day)...in my opinion both are the ideal excuse to spend time with family and friends. They're also the perfect pick-me-upper combo needed to beat those winter blues.
Some of our Valentine's Day traditions include:
- A yummy meal with a heart-shaped theme (either breakfast or dinner). We've tried so many ideas over the past few years from pink and red smoothies to heart-shaped pizza . The local Dollar Stores are always a good place to find baking and cooking supplies - perfect for the Holiday!
- We always decorate the table and usually ask the kiddies to help. In terms of other décor...this year I'm going with a school work theme. Everything they've brought home from school lately has been covered in hearts. And so my house is covered in hearts too!
- We usually give the kids small gifts instead of chocolate (don't worry they get plenty of treats from other family members). I bought them all books and a new game and I seriously can't wait to play it! https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/pie-face-game/6000194189509
- This year I purchased a t-shirt for myself and a dress for Georgia. Everywhere we go next week the kids are expected to dress in theme (red and pink), so I figured I would join in on the fun! The boys still have their t-shirts from last year so now we're all set.
- Hudson and Georgia have also been busy making Valentine's Day cards for their school friends. They both did all the writing themselves for the first time, so it's definitely been a work in progress. I was thankful for the snow day this past week...they're almost finished!
- As for my hubby and I...let's just say we'll be enjoying a fun-filled dinner with all of our crazies!
Busy at work! |
Hudson's LEGO gift bags. I picked up the LEGO replica blocks from Walmart at such a great price! https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/block-tech-assorted-mixed-colours-building-blocks/6000196477574 |
My girlfriend shared this great idea with Georgia and I...she printed the free template for us and even picked up the lollipops...all we had to do was sign, cut and assemble them! Such a sweet deal:) |
Dinner table décor...oh so elegant -haha |
Georgia's dress was $5 at Walmart and my t-shirt is from Zara |
