My Funny Valentine

So...how do you spend your Valentines Day? A weekend get-away or romantic dinner for 2.
Well, when you have 4 kids, you learn to celebrate it together as a family. Or at least that's how we do over here at the Muller House.  It has become a tradition of mine to make a nice formal dinner for my boys. Complete with sparkling apple cider, a Valentines gift and a personalized handwritten card to each boy, telling them what I LOVE about them.They've come to expect it. This year, as Easton headed off to school Valentines morning, he said, "Mom, I can't wait to see what the table looks like when we get home from school."

That evening we enjoyed a dinner of flank steak, white cheddar smashed potatoes, asparagus & homemade rolls.
The boys loved reading the cards I had written for them & checking out what was in their mailboxes.
For dessert we had pazzoki's. What a lucky girl I am to have 5 handsome boys as my valentine every year. It was a wonderful night!!
