Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. Probably because it's all about love and sweets! This year I decided to do a little cookie exchange. There are not a lot of things I love more than 1. girl's night outs, and 2. cookies! Yummmm, the cookies were DIVINE. I LOOOOVE parties and had a lot of fun planning this one. One of my favorite party resources is Blonde Designs where I blatantly copied her ideas. :) Now you know I am not that cool.
most of the spread
my cookies
easy to make and easy to serve!
this was also easy, just a bakery box from Smith's that I put a little sign on- everyone took their cookies home in one of these babies.When Valentine's day is on sunday, it's a little weird! (Since we don't spend money on sundays) It's kind of like a two-day thing. So Saturday night we went on a fun little date. We ate at Flying Star. Everything was so yummy, especially the chocolate cake! Then, this year we decided instead of buying each other gifts we would go shopping together and pick stuff out. I picked out 2 necklaces (the cheapo kind!) and Scott picked a UNM hat. It was really fun to shop without kids!! :)
Today for Valentine's day, I gave the kids a Valentine with little treats, and Scott kept his tradition alive of ringing the doorbell and leaving heart chocolate boxes on the doorstep for the kids. I guess he used to always do that with his dad. I think it's really cute!
I got these.... did you know these basically have nutella on the inside?! Same company. Mmmmmmm
Another reason I probably LOVE Valentine's Day is because that is essentially when we first got together. Our first date was on the 11th of Feb, but I had no idea he liked me! Our second date was Valentine's day and that's when we held hands and snuggled for the first time. This picture is from the Sweetheart's dance a week later and we were officially a couple by then! I stinkin love my husband so much, and I have loved the last 7 years we have spent together. I always think how lucky I am that I found a guy that is so good for me! I don't know if there could be a better match out there! Basically he's the bomb.

Love you guys. Happy Valentine's Day. So glad your party was a success and you had a fun date night. I didn't know you were such a party planner, Kristie. Your youngest sister takes after you, then, cuz she sure doesn't take after me!
