V-Day

I know this is almost a month late, but I wanted this post on here for one day when I make a blog book.  We had a great Valentines Day this year.  At first I thought that I wanted to go out with Reed and get a sitter, but then I remembered that Valentine's Day can be for the kids too.  So I decided to make it a fun day with Macie.  We made Valentines for Daddy, made sugar cookies, dipped pretzels and strawberries, and got everything ready for a fancy dinner.  Then Reed brought home some roses, take-out dinner, and a red box movie.  Macie loved eating on the fancy dishes and especially the STRAWBERRIES......those are her favorite even without the chocolate.  And after the kids went to bed we were able to have a date at home, so I didn't even feel like I was missing out. 
WARNING:  I took a million pictures, I was having a little too much fun with my camera.

Macie had the funniest reaction when her daddy brought her home a rose.  He walked in with the flowers and handed her the pink one, and she laid down on chair and just cried to herself.  No fits or whining......just sad little tears:(  She's never done that before.  After some explaining that hers was the only pink one, just for her, she was alright. 

This is one of the Valentines Macie made to heart-attack the garage door.........another family portrait. 

This is actually the first time I've dipped strawberries......it was so fun!

Making the COOKIES.  I found the best recipe........so SOFT and delicious!
