I am not a baker. I've just emerged into the baking world this past year. And I am not a crafter by any means. But, usually on Valentines I have an inkling to be a baker and a crafter. I usually like to make heart shaped sugar cookies to deliver to friends. I loved making valentines in high school using conversation hearts somewhat like a candy gram. I especially LOVE the Spanish conversation hearts. Soo awesome.
Since Charlie would be out of the country on Valentines Day he took me out on a surprise date the night of our race. Our good friends the Bryces babysat for us. He took me downtown to Bay St. and we ate at the Shrimp Factory. Of course, it had cleared up and had stopped raining once the race was done. It was a nice evening. Going on dates with your spouse on a regular basis without children is so important. Really keeps the love alive. And it's a commandment from our prophets. Don't you just love commandments that you are excited about keeping?!
I made these same sugar cookies with this frosting except subbed vanilla extract for almond. Highly superior in my opinion. They were yummy. I learned however that using lemon extract isn't equal to using lemon zest. I also made a strawberry salad with spinach and sliced almonds.
Look at those eyes! Future heart breaker indeed.

I miss my babies!!!!!!!!!
We do a more family centered Valentine's Day. I've never been a big celebrator of it, probably because it was always associated with couples, so not very fun (never had a Valentine until after I got married, actually LOL).
P.s. Julian was born at 10:23am CST. :)
So fun! You sure know how to throw a good valentines party.
Cute and festive valentine's day! :) And, dates with your spouse really are important. I tell saia its important, not just for our relationship, but also for my sanity. :) Happy valentine's day!
