Sweet Treats

After the girls' Saturday morning basketball sessions,

we came home and I baked.

Thought they would adore these fun pre-made cookies while hubs and I went out on an evening DATE!

Had to add a little Valentine's RED!

Date was great...

and the kiddos always LOVE time with their sitter, Karlee!

*****

This morning after breakfast, we were crafting!

I made this little Valentine sack for Grandma!

Inside...Panera's biggest and gooeyist cinnamon roll!

My sweet SIL soon stopped with a cute plate of homemade cookies!

YUM!

After lunch, Jon's dear parents visited...bringing some FAB valentine surprises for the children!

Then, one of our favorite families, the Klattes, stopped by with some valentines!
We are so, so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family!

This afternoon we spent 4 hours in the kitchen!

Cookie time!

We baked, ruined a few batches, baked some more!

Then we iced, bagged and ripped fabric for garnish.

And PRESTO!

Over 100 cookies later (not counting the few thousand that we ate along the way).

(Well, my SIL ,Suzanne, made one plate of cookies) I stocked up on these ANTHRO tags!

*****A portion goes to wildlife (lecanotrouge)

******(Another favorite...
endanger species chocolate! Gives back to wildlife and the planet...www.chocolatebar.com/giveback)

All of this...and it's not even officially Valentine's Day yet!

Oh, much more to come tomorrow...when the TRUE day arrives!

Have a lovely Valentine's Day!
