Making Valentines

This year we decided to make our own Valentines. It was so much fun. Ashley helped Jason with his . I love when my kids work together and enjoy it.

My Valentine brought me this. Yesterday we made and frosted sugar cookies. I was sooo happy. Never in my life have I had sugar cookies turn out. I have been going to cooking classes and they are helping me a lot. My first ever successful sugar cookies. :) I can now add them to my list of accomplishment in my domestic life. Some of which are....... killer brownies, french bread, chocolate chip cookies, pecan logs, chocolate candy, pumpkin rolls, whole wheat bread, Texas sheet cake, and now sugar cookies. I am not saying they are the best, just that I could make them for someone and not be too worried. Next on my list is Cinnamon rolls......

The kids all got to pick a friend and doorbell ditch a plate of cookies at their house. We had so much fun running and hiding.....HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
