Family Valentine's Day Dinner

This year for Valentine's Day instead of scurrying around last minute trying to figure out where to have a 'romantic' dinner (with the kids), we had a nice *Family Valentine's Day Dinner* at home with another couple and their two-year old daughter.  It was a relaxed and causal dinner with just a little more fanfare than usual because it was Valentine's Day after all.  The husbands cooked up delicious tuna steak skewers and I contributed veggie couscous to make a surprisingly yummy meal.  For dessert we had a (store-bought) vanilla cake and (made from a box) heart-shaped brownies.  Even though it was V-Day the table didn't have any flowers on it, instead the dessert, Valentines M&M's and little plastic hearts (from Michael') gave the table a festive look.  Finally, each place setting had their own shot of M&M's and a stamped napkin with a heart or sweet saying.

 

I added little red heart sprinkles to the cake and brownies to make them just a little more festive.

 

It was a great way to spend a Valentine's Day!  Thanks Hubby, M & L.

I like the idea of stamping the napkins to turn them into a more personalized holiday theme.

Very cute. I love the idea of just making a beautiful event at home with the entire family.
