Happy Valentine's Day!!

Harrison, out little heart-breaker:



For Valentine's Day this year we made sugar cookies! Harrison was a great helper. He loved to push the cookie cutters into the dough,










and he was very good at pointing out each of the shapes once they were made.


Maybe a little too good... (take note of the fingerprints in each cookie)


Turns out making cookies can be messy, but how cute are those flour covered toes?!


A little fun with the big cookie cutters:








And it turns out that Harrison does NOT like the cookie dough. Ewww...


A little more work, and the cookies were baked.






Good times. :)



Next up, decorating.

Yes, we let our child play with knives.








We were there too...




And even Aunt Rachel came by to decorate a cookie!


Harrison's finished product:






Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese!!





Happy Valentine's Day!

Harrison's heart breaker is purdy darn cute. I love the first pic of him with his finger in his mouth. So does this mean the sugar cookies I ate were full of Harrison slobber and toes-in-the-dough? Luckily it's all cooked out, right? I like the lazy eye/tired look I got goin on...Come on, do a little editing before putting those kinds of pics up of your fave sister!

I love the shirt. I couldn't find any cute ones for my boys. Wow, he is such a great helper too.

Haha, don't worry Rachel. After Harrison helped, I made 'clean' ones sans toes and slobber. Those are the ones you ate. :)

And this is Leslie, even though it says Peter...

Aimee said...

that IS a cute shirt.

Rachel said...

I was gonna say, Peter's comment would have been something about adding some other extra "surprise" to my cookies...P.S. way to use the word 'sans' in a sentence. That was cool.

Did you only decordate with frosting or did you also use some toe jam? :) DANG cute kid!

GRAMMIE AND PAPA said...

Aimee is sure wanting everyone's cute shirts!
Maybe the toe jam cookies is why you have been sick Rachel....mmmmmm good ! I don't get what "sans" means...

Hi leslie!!
How are you guys?? I just found a letter from the mission a few days ago as I was reading through my mission journal...the letter was from a Felipe Valenzuela I think? (from Concepcion)...anyways he is pouring out his heart to me...saying that he doesn't just go for all the rubias...it's something "special" with me--ha! I just had to laugh because I remember you telling me that he did the same thing to you...hahaha!!! oh those chilean boys! =)
