Happy Valentine's Day!

Riley making Superbowl Pretzels!


Anthony making Valentine's Day fondue!


In the Petersen household we don't do a lot of celebrating for Valentine's day. The kids get a book and we spend time together making cheese and chocolate fondue. Tony started karate about a month ago and we go Monday and Wednesday nights. It is hard for us to get dinner ate, homework done, and everyone out the door on time so we celebrated on Sunday. This gave us more time to enjoy everything. I fixed all the food and Tony fixed the cheese fondue all by himself! Talk about one proud Momma :) It was so yummy! Can't wait for next year so we can do it again!
We have several food traditions which also include making homemade pretzels on Sunday Bowl Sunday. I have two great helpers that are always willing to get their hands dirty and help me cook. I love it! Riley has learned how to use the microwave. Anytime it is on she comes running in and says, whatcha cooking? It cracks me up every time! Cooking helps Tony practice his fractions, and Riley with her numbers. Anything can be made into a learning tool, plus it is just fun to build great memories! Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day!
