We have been waking up each morning to a fresh skiff of snow on the sidewalks. The weather has been so warm though that it mostly melts by the time the afternoon rolls around. January is always a tough month for me, so I was happy to wake to a new month today. After I sent Camilla out the door to the bus I put up my little heart wreath that I made a few years ago. It serves as a reminder that we can do hard things with the help of a loving Heavenly Father.
The rest of the day was slow and easy. I spent the morning playing with the boys and finishing up a little crochet project. Whenever Finley wanted my attention he would come over and bite my pants. He found it quite amusing to make his Mamma jump and squirm. It drives me nuts-o.
By the late afternoon I figured we'd better do something, so the boys and I mixed up some dough for our traditional sugar cookies. (First year here) I let it chill in the fridge while I cleaned up the kitchen.
Camilla got home just as the first pan came out and was so excited to decorate and eat them!
Joe licked his knife probably a hundred times, so he has a special plate of all the cookies he decorated to munch this week.
I love celebrating Valentine's day all month long. The kids always put a little extra effort into showing love and giving service and our home always feels just a bit happier because of it.
