It doesn't require a lot of money or time, to add a special touch to your children's holidays.At the beginning of the school year, we were able to buy a big package of colored construction paper and it has been a blessing to have around!
We simply took the pink for the main placemat and the youngest 2 children and me cut out red hearts to decorate them with.
My gifts here to the children (for being such sweethearts!) were 2 boxes of heart candies and a Valentine's pencil. ($4 for the candy and pencils.)
The flowers were for me from DH and the big bear was for Sissy from DH and the rest off the decor was stuffed animals and 'pillow hearts' that I had made them 2 years ago and one that Sissy sewed on her new machine.
I baked some jelly-filled Thumbprint cookies and placed them on the table. For lunch we had Simple Spaghetti with pink colored noodles and 'heart toasties'. (Just toast with heart-shaped cookie cutters used in the center.) And for dessert we had Hot Fudge Pudding Cake with ice cream!
Make memories for your children! It's worth every effort mommies!
(If I can do it with 6 kids, 5 of whom are getting over the flu, you can too! ;-))
