V-Day

We keep Valentine's Day pretty low key around here.  We love spending the day at home celebrating without the commercialization and crowds.

This year, if you were Brooklen's friend, you got some pretty awesome cookies for a Valentine's Day treat!  B and I had a blast decorating cookies . . . he got VERY into it this year. 

For dinner, we made our traditional Valentine's meal, sushi.  Then, we made a chocolate Alaskan.  If you haven't tried one of these, you are missing out . . . layers of chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream, topped with merengue and then baked in a 500 degree oven.  I think the kids preferred the cookies, but I was ALL over the cake.
