Valentine’s Day Cookies

So probably just like almost every other Mormon family we decided to make cookies for FHE on Valentine’s Day.  It was kind of a last minute thing and we didn’t have time to refrigerate cookie dough so we we went with pull apart dough and made buttercream frosting.  The boys (okay, mostly Stephen) absolutely insisted that we we make them blue with blue and green sprinkles.  I guess that’s what happens in a house of boys.  After we were done he was so mad because they didn’t look like Valentine cookies.  “They should be HEARTS!”  We don’t have a heart shaped cookie cutter.  No use explaining that is why Mommy wanted to make them pink and white….

There is just something about Boston’s adorable chubby hands sprinkling the sprinkles that is so dang cute!!!

Poor Stephen!  He was having a really good time but he was so tired and was starting to melt down toward the end. He did NOT want his picture taken – hence the awful, tearful grimace/forced smile.
