We heart cookies!

I love Valentine's Day. It was Valentine's Day seven years ago that Craig first told me he loved me. On a playground in a very VERY cliche park in Greeley, notorious for lovers and cheap weddings (ten points to the person who can guess WHICH park). We made just a couple valentines this year for Grandma and Grandpa and make them some cookies. Then left really loud messages on some other siblings' phones. It was great fun.

 I found a really cool, easy way to put frosting into bags. I can't find the video now, but basically you plop some frosting in some plastic wrap, roll the plastic wrap around it like a burrito, making sure it all sticks to itself, then grab the excess ends on either side and spin them around until it's all twisted up (tight enough that you have two plastic twisted "strings" on either side, but not too tight that the bubble holding the blob in the middle pops). Then tie one end off and stick the other end into the prepped bag until the "sting" comes out the other side, pull it through, then clip off the string and screw the tip on. Voila. Then you don't have to worry about it coming out the other end and when you are done, just pull out the bag and throw it away. Makes me want to decorate cookies all day long...

 The lovely roses Craig got me. One rose for every year we've been together since the first Valentine's Day we spent together. :-)

 I love roses.

 This is Chloe's rose. She LOVED it. She asks to smell it like every five minutes. Linus and Odell got some candy, but it's not as exciting to take pictures of a bag of candy hearts.

I am getting Craig something special for Valentine's Day, but he has to wait until this weekend to get it. I will document later. In the meantime I've been writing him letters every day with clues to what it may be. He gave me his best guess through text just now...and he's WAY off...hee hee...
