Our Valentine's Day was filled with yummy treats and a fun family hike. Grandma Sandi sent "New Moon" conversation hearts and Grandma Milloy sent kids music CDs that Brandon loved when he was young. Thanks for all the fun Valentine's Day surprises in our mailbox!
.
In keeping with family traditions, Maddie and I made heart shaped sugar cookies. 
She got really good at punching out little hearts, until she realized how tasty the dough was. Notice the hand prints where she grabbed handfuls of dough while I was turned around. And she looks so innocent. 
We also made a heart shaped cake. It turned out a little larger than expected and settled a bit before I took the picture, but we shared it with our good friends the May family up the street. It's always good to share the love, especially when it comes in the form of a cake.
For our Valentine's Day breakfast, we celebrated with heart shaped pancakes, strawberries, and whipped cream. Yum!
After we ate our lovely breakfast, we decided it was so beautiful outside, it would be a crime to not enjoy it. We went on a family hike near our home. Maddie was a good little hiker. She stayed on the path for the most part, unless there was a cactus or some other dangerous thing she was drawn to. She wore her little legs out and had a good nap before church started later that afternoon. 
If there is an airplane within 100 miles, Maddie will point it out. Guaranteed.
We hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day - we love you all!
