Munchkin and D had fallen asleep on Saturday night. I slipped downstairs and starting preparing their surprise breakfast, gluten free cinnamon raisin biscuits. I tinted the frosting pink just for fun. (Munchkin declared the next day that they tasted like a cross between biscuits and cinnamon rolls.)
As the biscuits were baking, I began to decorate for Valentine’s Day. Neither D nor Munchkin expected to find anything on Sunday morning, but this is what they saw…
Wanting to add a little fun to our plain light over the table, I hung balloons with pom, pom ribbon. I always pick up decorations after the holidays, so I’m able to decorate easily on a budget. I keep all the decorations from each holiday in their own storage bin. I try to have them color coordinated according to the normal colors of that holiday.
After Christmas, I found these picks on clearance at Michael’s Crafts. They were marked 90% off by the time I found them. I quickly snatched up all of these picks and put them in with our Valentine’s Day decorations. I popped them in small red glass vases from the dollar store for a cute decoration.
Every year, I make some type of pasta dish for Munchkin for Valentine’s Day. This year, I used a large Wilton heart cookie cutter to shape the pasta. I packed the pasta into the cookie cutter, and this was the result. Of course, we had to add a bunch of cheese sprinkled on top.
We ended our day with a plate of chocolate covered strawberries that I made earlier in the day. We all enjoyed the strawberries, and we had a wonderful Valentine’s Day together.
