Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day in our household has been a week long celebration- and why shouldn't it be!?!?!

Last weekened Mark and I went out on a date night to Benihana's and AdLibs. I have been enjoying these beautiful flowers all week!

 

Tip for all the men out there- Market Street in Coppell has the best flowers! Just bring any vase you have, tell them how much you want to spend and they will make a beautiful arrangement for you in about 15 minutes!

My sous chefs and I made some cute Valentine treats to share with their Mothers Day Out class- these are cute and so easy! They are just premade Rice Krispy treats dipped in white chocolate and covered with Valentine's sprinkles. 

  

My "helper"- I use the term loosely :)

I also made this- I got the idea from a blog called Bakerella which I love!

This recipe can be customized to any holiday or color combination. It definitely addictive though! I have added it to my dessert repertoire for good! For this batch I left out the peanuts and added heart sprinkles.

Afterwards we signed our Princess & Cars valentines( that came with tatoos!) and I finished it all of by putting them with the treats in cellophane baggies tied with ribbon and these cute labels I got from etsy.com a while back.

 

  

The valentine celebration at school was delayed due to all the snow but they will be enjoyed on Tuesday!

Hope everyone is feeling loved on this Valentine's Day and Happy Birthday to Jessica!

HUGS AND KISSES FROM BEN & KATE!
