Our family's Valentine's Day tradition for the last seven years has been to dip fruit and pretzels into chocolate. The kids absolutely love it, and we all look forward to this annual tradition. This year we not only did the "standard" dipping, but Charlie had the great idea to dip peanut butter Girl Scout cookies, too. Then, we moved on to pretzels into peanut butter before the chocolate. Yum! Yum!
The other Valentine's Day tradition is to make breakfast pink! This was something fun my mom did for Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day. We'd have colored milk and breakfast foods to match the holiday. We always loved being grossed out by the pink or green milk. Our kids have enjoyed the tradition, as well. This year the pink pancakes had cheerfully colored sprinkles also. Really healthy meal I served between all the food coloring and sugar!! Oh well. :)
The past few years I've been leaving a "trail" for the kids to follow from their room to the dining table. Last year the trail was made from tiny pink, white and red paper hearts but this year's trail was edible...red, chocolate covered (dried) cherries leading downstairs to the table. Silly.
