Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is one of my most favorite family meals of the year! It all started when Matthew was a baby. Bryon and I rarely went out in those days and it seemed like a waste of babysitting money to wait forever at a restaurant on the actual V-day, so we started having a date near Valentine's Day and making a special meal at home on February 14th.

As the kids have gotten older, we enjoy this tradition even more! I usually make spaghetti (red!) and chocolate mousse (chocolate!) for our meal, then go around the table and tell each family member why we love them. What a blessing these four Valentine's of mine are to me!
