Happy Valentine's Day!

So, the fact is, I don't usually do much for holidays like this.  I mean, Steve and I exchange cards, and sometimes gifts, and occasionally go to dinner or the movies on Valentine's Day, but that's about it.  I guess when the kids were little we put up decorations and stuff, but I don't usually do things like that now. I'm such a bad homeschooling mommy. :)

But today, I thought it would be fun to surprise Steve with Valentine's cookies.  I've had this cookie cutter forever; I just hadn't used it yet.

I used a Wilton's sugar cookie recipe--really easy, and it doesn't need to chill.

Now, pretend to hold on for a minute while I run to the store to buy Karo Syrup---which Maddie realized after the fact, we already had.  SIGH.

Maddie was my super-duper helper, filling in the hearts, after I piped the outline onto them.

Please, please, do not make fun of my 'icing-writing' capabilities.  At least they're readable. (Note that I actually write with a RI accent--see the cookie in the lower left hand corner. LOL)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
