• This is a good time for little girls to practice table manors.
• Light music will help the atmosphere.
• If you grease the pan for the brownies they come out easier.
• If you don't want to use your fancy plates for fear of them getting broken by little girls, or you don't have a set, go to the Thrift Store. You can usually get a whole set of China for $10
• If you don't have Valentines cookie cutters you can cut a big heart out with out with a knife.
