Valentine's Day 2015

This is just a quick post with some Valentine's Day highlights. 
 
I've gotta say - I love me a holiday and this one delivered!
 
This year, I made some Valentine's Day cookies and they came out really nice.  Per usual, I used my favorite rolled sugar cookie recipe which you can find here.


For cards, I chose to make my own, using a kit from Target.  I thought they came out very cute!
 

One of my gifts- at the start of the week, we saw "The Book of Mormon" -absolutely hilarious!!!!  Don't get me wrong, it was crude, but so funny.  I've never laughed so hard at a theatre in my life!
 


Valentine's Day Dinner was at Al Di La. While we were waiting for our table, someone took this cute pic of my boyfriend, KP, and I. He gets my best smiles :-)

The rest of the weekend was spent at home. 
 















This one had fun too :-)
















It was a wonderful holiday spent with very special people - sending best love to you & yours!

Merry Christmas! 7 Weeks Later

I cannot let Valentine's Day pass without documenting Christmas!  So here are some of my favorite pictures from Christmas 2014.  It was such a great season and we had so much goodness to celebrate!  I hope you enjoy some pictures of my new tree, rolled sugar cookies, and the outdoor lights.  Goals for next year - 1) Timer for the C9s outside (lost track of how many times I had to replace the light strings, 2) More beautiful Christmas paper and ribbon - homemade?  Target sale? 3) Re-using this year's decorations!!!  Love to you & yours - Valentine's Update soon :-)
