Celebrating Valentine's Day with the Kids
If you haven't figured out by now I absolutely love to celebrate all holidays, including Valentine's Day. I will take any excuse to get creative and have a good time. Since we have two toddlers Valentine's Day is spent with them and this year I want to make the entire day filled of fun activities, yummy and fun looking food, beautiful decor and a fun set up. I of course turned to Pinterest for a little inspiration and wanted to share with you some of the fun things I found and what I plan to do while celebrating Valentine's Day with the kids and my hubby this year.
Activities
On Valentine's Day I want to have the kids make Valentine's for family and friends
and I love this idea to make some celery stamped Valentine's

Set up/Decor
For lunch on Valentine's Day I plan to set up the kids' table then for dinner we will all eat at our dining table, I love all the ideas I saw but these stood out:
This is by far my favorite Valentine's table! I am absolutely in love with it as well as the rest of the party found on Amanda's Parties To Go...
I absolutely love this kids table set up shown on Pottery Barn Kids' website
Beautiful table decor and set up

Love this dessert table
Fun Food
I absolutely LOVE the idea of having food to fit your holiday and/or theme and Valentine's Day is so much fun with shaping as much food as you can into a heart. Take a look at these very creative foods that I found:
This entire dinner from Workman Family has to be one of my favorites.
So much detail was put into it and I love it all!
