Valentine's Traditions at the Table

Do you and your family have any traditions for Valentine's Day?

Roger and I have never really done much to celebrate, but now that the kids are getting older and understand a bit more about it I am trying to be a little more festive. Last year we had pink chocolate chip pancakes with strawberry syrup for breakfast, cut into heart shapes of course. I'm pretty sure I also cut their sandwiches into hearts, too. And we made Roger some chocolate dipped pretzels with heart sprinkles that afternoon.

This year? Not so much. I woke up yesterday with a bad cold and by today I basically feel like I've been steamrolled. Unfortunately, Wyatt remembered those heart pancakes and has been asking about them for days. I'll admit that it was lunch time before I actually got around to making them, but the boys didn't care a bit. I had grand plans of strawberry syrup and mango-cherry smoothies but that didn't exactly pan out, either. 

I couldn't find my camera in time to get a picture of the actual pancakes, but I did get this one of a satisfied little boy...
