Valentines

Valentines is a significant day for us for a few reasons. David and I had our engagement party on Valentines Day 11 years ago - would you believe?? Now there's for feeling like an oldie! At the close of our engagement party, held in Mum living room, David's brother Peter announced that he and Jennifer were to be married. Double special finish to our special day.

And of course, though I am sure the origin of Valentines Day is not so significant to us, the cause - to remember our love to eachother, is...

Here's a few things we did.

Joshua baked some chocolate chip cookies which we made into paddle-pop cookies. Yes, he followed the recipe and prepared the dough from start to finish! We soaked the paddle-pop sticks in water (so they wouldn't burn in the oven)

and just stuck them in our regular choc-chip dough.

Then baked them

Wrapped them

... and of course a few were munched

before we celebrated the evening together with Peter and Jennifer, Matthias and Mum. After putting the little ones to bed we watched a nice romantic film together.

Happy Valentines Day Mum! XOX
