Happy Valentine's Day!

Before I post Valentine pics, I have to post this one...
 Jason was Mommy's helper the other day and he rocked Weston to sleep…he is such an awesome BIG brother!!  Thank you Jason :)!

OK…Valentine's Day!!
Yesterday, we baked lots of LOVE treats :)
Cookies for humans...
Jason, Reagan, and Elli spent a lot of time rolling out the dough and cutting out the cookies...
The cookies turned out BEAUTIFUL!!
 ...and they tasted WONDERFUL!!!
Then the kids decided it wasn't fair that Leah didn't have any treats for Valentine's Day…so we made canine cookies…
 It took a LONG TIME to cut out all the little treats for Leah...
But it was worth the work…Leah loved them.  And…the house smelled so good after making them.  I was surprised at the yummy ingredients in the recipe…truly we could eat these cookies…but…no one has cause they are dog treats…and humans don't eat dog treats :)
 We ended up having so many cookies that we packaged up a bunch and visited some neighbors and friends and brought them treats...
 This morning when the kids woke up the table was beautifully set.
Gramma Pauline sent Valentine plates and chocolate so every place was picture perfect!!
Thank you Gramma Pauline!!  We love you and hope you feel better soon!!!
Trevor and Joshua have a Boy Scout Merit Badge Fair today, so we will open our homemade valentines tonite when they get home :).  I will post pics when we open them cause the kids are always SOOOO creative!!!
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!

The kids and I have been reading the Little House On the Prairie books.  In one of the books Laura talked about how her mom would put her hair up in rags so that she would have curly hair.  Elli wanted to try it.  So last night we tied her hair up.  I don't have any picture of her with her hair tied up…didn't think to take a picture until this morning when we took her hair down…


 The boys all said she looked exactly like a princess…brothers are the best!!!
