Celebrating Valentine's Day

 We celebrated Valentine's Day as a family with presents coming in for my husband starting the Thursday before. Freddy woke up to a Valentine's Day basket sent by balloons, filled with what else, but 24 bouncy balls. The best present ever... of course.

For breakfast I made egg in the hole toast, except the hole was a heart. I had been making heart shaped breakfast all week for my Red Velvet Pancake Recipe you can check out my recipe blog.

Freddy brought Valentine Cookies and Cupcakes to class.

For dinner Grandma came over and we made pizza. I cut pepperoni's in the shape of hearts to make them a little special. It was the best Valentine's I can remember.

Cookie Crafternoon Pre-Valentine's Party

Pre-celebration of Valentine's Day two of my girlfriends got together for a crafternoon of glory. We made cookies... lots of cookies: almond macarons with nutella filling, chocolate macarons with cherry filling, heart shaped shortbread cookies, filled shortbread cookies. 

One of my girl friends brought food coloring markers which we enjoyed making fun faces on our hearts. 

Leslie's brain child was a black cookie, which we thought would have made a hilarious heart, but we ended up making shortbread sandwiches. Which were very tasty but looked something like a homemade oreo...
