Valentine's Day 2012

Happy Valentine's Day!

What a busy and lovely day.  I decided to use these heart boxes I bought at the local Arc Thrift store to create a Valentine's gift for the kids.

Painted the top with chalkboard paint.

Then painted the sides the kids favorite colors. Pink, of course, for Ari and green for Oli.

Trimmed the top box with a little ribbon. Then conditioned the chalkboard and wrote their names on them. 

Meanwhile, the "artist" was busy working on her own Valentine's present. Shhhh, this one is for daddy.

I filled the Valentine's Day boxes with Pez dispensers, Hershey Kisses, fish food and a craft for each kid.
Of course, Ari was stumped about the fish food, until I told her to look in her room.
  
Happy Valentine's Day Ari and Oli!
Ari named the fish, Honey.

Now on to dinner.

Heart shaped roasted potatoes with carrots.

Heart shaped cheeseburgers - Daddy's favorite.

Valentine's Dinner.

Now to top off the night with the best beer in town -Daddy's homebrew. Ahhhhh!
