sweet love

these are the most chocolaty chocolate cookies...perfect for a true chocaholic like me....

For some reason, the past few weeks I have done one heckuva lot of baking of Valentine sweet treats. After the holidays, all my two older ones talked about was that Valentine's day was coming...so I prepped for the Day of Love with lots of heart treats (with the help of their lil hands of course!).

these are reminiscent of the "pink cookies" I used to gobble up in college


I made these red velvet cupcakes for Soren's class valentine party


these were Soren's valentines he handed out; he made the pink hearts and wrote every child's, and teachers', name


Anna Clara loves to paint, so she painted a sheet of paper with all sorts of colors then cut out the hearts. I forgot to take a picture of the whole group of them -- they were so pretty! The teacher did not like it that she didn't write her name on each of them... It was hard enough to get her to cut out the hearts, believe me!!

Other than baking, I've been taking care of my other sweet loves....

my love pimps (I took this picture a few months ago, but these outfits have hearts on them so I just had to post them today.)


This is how my boys spent most of their Valentine's day...and every day....


All my little sweet loves!! (Soren and Anna Clara took turns taking pictures...lots of pictures...and these two were the only ones worth sharing. My big sweet love came home too late from work to join the love fest....)

I hope you had a Valentine's Day filled with sweet treats and sweet loves!!
