Scenes from Valentine's Day

We had a nice little Valentine's Day yesterday.

Kevin bought some roses for me & the girls.

Hearts.

Valentine's Bags the girls made at school:

Conversation Hearts. Call Me...Maybe.

 Treats from my mother in law:

 Making Ritzie's for our Neighbors. We make them every Valentine's Day. 

It's not Valentine's Day without Ritzies!
These have been one of my go-to treats for Valentine's Day & Christmas.
Here is what you need:

Ritz crackers, peanut butter, candy melts (or chocolate chips) & sprinkles

Put a glob of peanut butter in between 2 ritz crackers.

Then, dip them in your melted candy melts or melted chocolate chips.
Then, add some sprinkles to make them festive!

Heart tights are awesome.

 

Charlie Brown. Gotta love it.

 As for Kevin & I....we don't celebrate Valentine's Day until today, February 15th.

Valentine's Day is about celebrating with our kids, but the 15th is our day.
We got engaged on February 15th (read about it here), so instead of going out on Valentine's Day, we celebrate on February 15th & go out to dinner then because this day has more meaning to us!
And, you NEVER have to make a reservation for dinner on February 15th, restaurants are always pretty empty the day after Valentine's Day.
No pre-fix menu, no increased dinner prices, no crowds.
I think Kevin is a GENIUS for proposing on February 15th. 

 Instead of going out tonight on the 15th like we normally do, we have something extra fun planned that we are doing tomorrow night!
I can't believe it has been 11 YEARS since he proposed!
