One thing that you will notice on this blog, is all the magic that we add to every holiday. Before we had kids, Valentine’s Day was insignificant and well just plain boring. I knew we needed to jazz it up a bit. So we began adding traditions like Valentine’s mailboxes and Love Buckets. Next, we incorporated a fun themed dinner. It started out as a simple heart theme but I could never settle with just that. Probably because I felt that I had to add a little something extra to get my boys excited about it too. The tradition of a themed Valentine’s dinner began. All the hearts, roses, pinks, and reds should be enough of a theme for Valentine’s Day. However, one year we added mustaches to the hearts for ‘I mustache you to be my Valentine’ and last year was Star Wars themed. The boys really loved it. Check out all the details of this year’s superhero Valentine’s breakfast below.

Surprising I know. I took the idea and ran with it.
