I like Valentine's day. Yes, I know it is an entirely commercially created holiday. The stores make a killing. But what about a holiday to celebrate love is there not to love? I hate supporting the commercial monster too, so we keep it simple and mostly homemade. This is the first year I've done what I remember my mom doing every year...making some kind of cake or cookie pink and red sugary delight. Usually it was heart shaped sugar cookies with pink icing. So that is what I made. I don't think we ever properly appreciate how much work goes into these "small" signs of love until we are adults doing them for other children. My mother's homemade sugar cookies are a pain in the butt! But they taste oh so yummy with the touch of almond extract and the buttery frosting. Brad got them balloons and they made homemade cards for us and it is all so sweet and fuzzy and...pink.

I'm not normally a totally cheeseball. But for today, I'm a complete sap. Deal with it.

I LOVE YOU ALL!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I really don't have any patience for sugar cookie cutouts, but my mother, bless her, sent Hannah a bunch of x's and o's in sugar cookie form. She told me that she intentionally did not send many cookies, because she knows I don't like Hannah to have sugar. While I really appreciate the thought, I am on no such sugar restrictions! ;)

I'm going to try to make something sweet with Hannah later today, just probably not sugar cookie cutouts. If I feel really ambitious, we might make these sandwiches. She loves Uncrustables (courtesy of her other grandma), and I really hate them; these are so much better!

I like cookies with frosting on them. And candy.

It's quite ok to be a cheeseball, I am too. Happy Valentine's Day!
