Valentines-- Piece By Piece -The Baking

I'd have to say -- out of all the made up holidays- Valentines - is my least favorite one!!

Seriously -- its come down to having to set aside a day -- to have the people we love around us -- expect that we are going to make some grand gesture- to make up for the other 364 days that we didn't acknowledge our love for them-- ??  Ya that sounds hokey to me!!!

But who doesn't like to have a reason to make some wonderful sugar cookies!!

So we did-- Me and Porter made us some fancy fancy cookies!!! We decorated them for Chet!!  He liked them!! It made me want it to be Summer!!
 I got new heart shaped cookie cutters!!
 Porter was modeling them for me!! -- he looks high!! -- (I didn't tell you they were "special cookies")
 Push Push Push--
 OOh naughty cat-- (FYI - we kicked the cat off the table fast--
 Lovely hearts!!!

 Porter thought he was super cook wearing the oven mits!!! This is his new favorite way to wander around the house! -- He tells me HOT!

 Walla-- a little bit of icing- and we have "porno cookies"
 Chet was amused-- not as much as me!! I was laughing hard!!!



  

And we shared them with a few friends- who would enjoy them as much as we did!!

Now today -- actually being the made up holiday -I feel not at all festive!!   What is wrong??

I'm loved-- I love-- and yet-- I don't feel the need to buy into this ??   But -- what I do feel the need for is- to not cook-- so I will use this made up holiday as an excuse-- to not cook!!!  

Happy Valentines from Chet, Beckie and Porter!!
