Valentine’s Day Goodies

So I totally  meant to get this posted earlier than the day before Valentine’s Day, but, that didn’t happen… better late than never though, right?


It took me a little bit, but I created a pretty yummy red velvet cookie recipe.

function printDiv(e){var divToPrint=document.getElementById(e);newWin = window.open(“”, “printwin”); newWin.document.write(divToPrint.innerHTML); newWin.print(); newWin.close(); }

While most red velvet deserts are decorated with cream cheese frosting, I decided to go with royal icing.

I also decorated a bunch of sugar cookies.

On Friday we had some of the my moms club over to decorate sugar cookies.  It was tons of fun.  I think I’ll be cleaning up sprinkles for the next year! 😉

I haven’t posted any pictures of the girls lately, so here are a few.  🙂

I’ve gotta say, I love how much Autumn looks at Annabelle.  She smiles so big when she sees her big sister. 🙂
