Family Valentine's Day Traditions

When Brayden was very little I started some fun Valentine's Day traditions.

So the boys always wake up with their bedroom doors "Heart Attacked", which is a lot easier now that they both share a room.

Then they usually get a treat and a little present left on the floor in front their door from us.  This year it was some little crispy chocolate soccer balls and baseballs and a video.  Brayden got one of my all time favorites from my childhood, The "Chipmunk Adventure" movie and Andrew got a Dora video, of course, since he has a little crush on her.

Next year I think I might add another tradition and have a candlelit dinner with my boys.  Thanks Cee Cee for the idea!  She does this with her family and I think it's so cute!

Does anyone else have any other fun Valentine's Day traditions I can steal?

What a fun idea to heart attack your kids door. I will have to start some of these fun ideas once I have kids. I think it would be neat to write on the hearts why they are such great kids or some of their talents you recognize in them. Then they can pull of the hearts and read them all!

I love the idea. I am always looking for cute ideas to do with my kids. It makes the holidays a little more fun to look forward to.
