Have A Delicious Valentine's Day

This is what we spent a good portion of our day doing yesterday. In the morning we baked, and after lunch we decorated. A large portion of cookies went undecorated and will go to my Son's Kindergarten class tomorrow.

Using pink, purple, red, white and a few sprinkles, we put together a beautiful assortment of cookies to celebrate each other. Several days ago, we also created little boxes so that we could create Valentines for each other and have somewhere to keep them until we open them on Tuesday. We will be celebrating a day late because that's when Daddy gets home from camp.

The kids picked an assortment of different shapes. These are Kaitlynn's cookies and included here are hearts, flowers, birds and kitties. Also, being the super-duper kid that she is, she handmade all of her Valentines. She did 25 for her class, and several for her family as well. I can't wait to see what she put together.

These are Jared's cookies. There are birds, hearts, kitties, frogs, fish, lions and even a baseball bat. They didn't all make it into the photo. One 'broke', so it had be eaten immediately. Another one fell onto the chair, had to be eaten. And this other one wasn't looking quite right, so down the hatch. But enough made it to the freezer to be able to pack a treat each day this week in his lunchbox.

Jared also worked hard on his Valentine's. My little 5 year old signed his name perfectly on nearly 30 cards.

Both the kids are very excited for their parties tomorrow, and even more excited that Daddy will be home in only 2 more sleeps.
