Happy Valentines!

We had a little Valentine's party today at our house with Avery's 2 best friends (Caroline and Carter) and Griffy's best buddy (Creighty). Avery and I made heart shaped cookies last night - she LOVES making cookies - she talked about it all day and had a blast doing them. Its a major mess, with flour and dough everywhere, but her excitement makes it worth it! She loves to do it all herself (she is my child) - cracking the egg, stirring up the batter, using the rolling pin, and of course the cookie cutters!

Before lunch, we let the girls have their hand at decorating the cookies. It was really funny to watch their personalities come out - Avery was wide open with sprinkles everywhere and in piles on her cookies, Carter only wanted frosting because the sprinkles were too messy, and Caroline was very detailed and particular when she did hers. They all loved it.

After lunch we took the cookies outside and let everyone eat and play for a while. We've had weather in the 65-75 range all week so its been wonderful! Great weather for sand, sidewalk chalk, and bike/wagon rides.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
