When my sister told me how she was planning a fancy Valentine dinner for her family, I knew I wanted to copy her! And it turned out to be so much fun, I think we have a tradition here for the future.
First we dressed up! Complete with boutonnieres and corsages that I made (out of silk roses from the dollar store - now I can use the same ones next year!). Madeline was excited to wear her princess dress during dinner.
When the night was over, Ethan was happy to blow out the candles, but sad that he couldn't make us any more valentines. In the one week leading up to Valentine's Day, Ethan made over 40 valentines. I'm talking, homemade, with animal drawings on them. And store bought ones, he did about that many too. I've got a stack of ferocious dino valentines like you wouldn't believe. That's how I know I'm loved!

So lucky to have so many great valentines. Eric and I have decided this fancy dinner will be our new v-day tradition every year and he and I will either go out a few days before or after, just depending on when V-day falls. That way it is less crowded to go out to eat too.
Sooo much fun! Maybe I will do a green set up for St. Patrick's. Last year I made dyed the rice green. Yeah. I won't be doing that again. Haha. Super cute.
