Valentines Day just simply isn’t what it used to be. In fact, it’s actually better. Don’t get me wrong, I love the romantic date nights with my husband, but getting to spend special fun holidays like this with our kids is all the better. They are at the age where we truly enjoy their company so much! This past Friday we had a family night and it was so fun. We all took a dip in our hot tub, then made yummy snacks and had a movie night! We laughed, snuggled, and really soaked in the moment.
Lately, we have been spending Valentines Day with the kids and it has really made it that much sweeter. The kids are used to me making all sorts of yummy treats during the different holidays, so this became a new favorite for them. Check out how I made these Heart Shaped Pancakes for Valentines Day BELOW:
