We had a week full of Valentine's fun and food. I let Benjamin pick the Valentine's he wanted to give to his preschool class and teacher. I tried to convince him to do something else, but he's a determined boy.
For his class, we made superhero lolly pops. I got to help out with the craft for his Valentine's Day party and helped pass out all the treats and cards. The superheros were a hit with all the kids. Benjamin knew what would make his classmates happy.
His teacher got a bouquet of cake pops. I've never made cake pops and after reading a few pins on Pintrest I figured I could manage my way through a batch. They are fairly time consuming, but not as complex as I thought they would be. I have dipped chocolates before, so that was helpful.
Benjamin did help by eating the sprinkles that didn't stick to the chocolate. He also helped bag the cake pops and eat a few of them.
The finished product was very festive.
Our next project was to make some sugar cookies. We made a big one for Mike.
Ben helped draw the heart and spell his name.
We enjoyed several treats. Mike got me strawberries and a cupcake from Cravings. Yum!
We then enjoyed our traditional heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's. Throughout dinner Benjamin came around giving Mike, Levi and me hugs and kisses. I'm so happy that I have my family and hope they enjoy these memories we create together.
