Valentining

Because of our "14 Days of Valentines" we squeezed every single ounce out of Valentine's Day this year and had so much fun!  Here are some of our festivities -

cookies and milk with frozen pink milk hearts (idea from pinterest of course)

homemade heart pizza

Jilly made us a little Valentine at playgroup

Bryan's mom always made big heart sugar cookies so we made them for each other this year.  You can tell that Bryan is a much superior cookie designer.

Bryan came home from work with this beauty for me

and this for his little Valentine (I've never seen her so excited)

 heart pancakes with heart bacon for dinner (from pinterest again)

and mini Martinelli's for dessert 

On Valentine's I read this excellent article.  My favorite part - "We need to stop thinking of love as a mysterious power that has control over us.  We need to think of love as a way to treat other people, rather than as something that happens to us.; then we will begin to have power over our loving."
