Valentine's Dinner

For our Valentine's Dinner this year, I used bulk candy, heart napkins, and tissue paper for our decor.
I already had the beaded garland with ribbon (DI for $3) and the pink gingham placemats were a wedding gift.  The cake roll is made from two washcloths rolled up and tied with a rubberband and fake cherry!

I used chocolate covered cinnamon bears, bubble tape, and other gummy candies to make these kabobs:
I tried to borrow a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out our pickled beets, but none of my friends had one that was small enough, so I ended up using kitchen sheers.  It worked great!
 We had spaghetti, green salad, and homemade pretzel "love knots".  I made a real cake roll with pink filling for dessert, but I didn't take a picture of it.
 Todd fed Justin sweet potatoes, and I caught this picture of him wearing rubber gloves! 
(he can't stand the mess)

I'm a lucky girl to have FIVE sweethearts on Valentine's Day!
