Coffee Breakfast

Yesterday was a new stat holiday for those of us in B.C. – Family Day! We had a great P.J. day together and just took the day to build Legos, read books, and hang out. I took advantage of the extra time in the morning and put together an early Valentine’s Day brunch for the boys.
I decorated the table with some various Valentine’s decor that I had out around the house and used these cute bird candle holders to hold a little bit of Valentine’s Day candy.
{you can find tutorials for the pomander balls and ruffled balls HERE and HERE}

I used some washi tape to decorate up the paper cups and straws and froze some pink milk in heart ice cube trays to add to the milk.

I also made this Valentine’s mailbox and filled it with activity coupons for the kids {such as a family game night, dinner of their choice, trip to the wave pool, etc.}. They took turns picking their “letters” out of the mailbox and have already started planning when they want to do their activities.
Breakfast was heart pancakes and strawberries {and my favorite hash browns for Dave and me} with some Valentine’s candies thrown in there for fun!
And most importantly, there was lots of time to just sit down and enjoy. Definitely a nice way to spend our family day!
{Okay, not one of my kids’ most photogenic moments but I still think they are pretty cute.}

I have one more Valentine’s project to show you and then I have some catching up to do on my February tasks for The Household Organization Diet!
