I started a tradition when my oldest son was 4 years old. Since our "sweethearts" are our children, we celebrate Valentine's Day by having banana splits for dinner! I make sure to have anything a person could desire for toppings. Our dining table looks just like a malt shop. (You should see the huge bowl of cherries that adorns the center of the table!) All with the benefit of having a fun intimate family meal, and the cost is the same or less than what we would have spent if we went to eat at an ice cream shop.

That sounds like something the kids will cherish and remember all their lives...I will try that with frozen yogurt or sherbet since some of our members of the family are lactose intolerant...what a great great sweet idea!

Fabulous! I really like making traditions! Too bad that right now my daughter doesn't really like "stuff" in her ice cream. She only wants what she calls "the white ice cream." She's two, so that could change eventually, and when it does, I think we might go for this! Thanks!
What a sweet idea for Valentine's Day! I'm going to adopt it starting this year. My kids are grown and on their own but my husband will be surprised and thrilled.
What a fun tradition. Dessert for dinner once a year is something I wish I had thought of when my girls were small. They now live hundreds of miles away so doing this for grandchildren on Valentine's Day is also out of the question.
What a great memory/tradition for your kids. My husband would never go for this but me bring it on. lol
Great idea! It's my husband that will love this more than our grandkids though, so it can be our tradition, too!
It's such a cute idea. I keep thinking about cutting strawberries in a heart shape.
