Valentines '09

For Valentine's, I made sugar cookies the night before and invited Capsons and Tuttles over to help us frost them. I get very into holidays I think because my mom always made holidays really special and fun growing up. Sarah was at a concert with some girlfriends so she came late. We had to make do with my homemade frosting that wasn't quite solid enough. We were squeezing it out through a hole cut out of the corner of ziplock baggies, but that made it all the more fun!

Yes, it was a contest. And yes, I believe Ry won :)

On actual Valentine's morning, I made Ryan a breakfast of quiche and cheese blintzes. Will got me some beautiful tulips and a giant Hershey kiss. I had told Ryan earlier in the month that I wanted chocolate for Valentine's, since they say you are supposed to just come out and tell guys and not hint to them. My dad always gave me and my sister chocolate for Valentine's. So I thought I guess this is my chocolate. I thought a giant Hershey kiss would not have been my first choice, but at least he listened. Well, I should have known better because later in the day I came into the kitchen to find a box of See's truffles from Ryan this time. To die for!! Haha my sweet husband isn't too dense after all :) The bottom right hand picture is the aftermath of Will testing out some of mommy's truffles.
