Happy Valentine's Day

I'm doing a few different posts today! I have some catching up to do...

It's been a while since I have had a holiday come while I was feeling well. So I was very excited to have a little extra energy for Valentine's. A few days before Valentine's day I was feeling a little cabin feverish, but still not wanting to go out in the cold, I decided the next best thing would be to change up the activities during the day. So the girls and I decided to make some Valentine cookies for Daddy. Genevieve was awesome at patting down the dough and cutting the shapes out. AnnaBelle was great at eliminating a lot of work for us by eating as much dough as she could get her hands on. We had soooo much fun together. It was especially refreshing for me to do something fun and productive with the girls. After we finished baking the cookies I put the girls down for naps and decided to try my new cake decorating tools out on the cookies. I made some frosting and just started to play around with the different tips. I wasn't really trying to be professional about it or anything. I was more like a kid with play-dough, seeing what cool shapes this one made or how big of a star that one would make. It was exhausting (frosting is NOT for whimps) but very fun!
Then on Saturday morning my Valentine to my family was a valentine breakfast. My mom had given Bart a heart shaped muffin tin as a gift so I borrowed that from him and made some apple cinnamon muffins from scratch. They didn't look exactly like hearts (I filled them too full, Ooops) but still they tasted pretty good. I took some of the left over frosting from the cookies and added some cream cheese to top the muffins with a yummy cream cheese frosting. I then took out my heart shaped egg shaper and was able to cook up some heart shaped scrambled eggs to go with the muffins. I added some apple slices we canned last fall to the plates and viola! Everyone seamed to enjoy it. I really enjoyed putting it together. So much fun!
