One Sweet Weekend

We had a great Valentine's weekend - my Dad and his wife, Susan, and her two boys came to stay with us while they were in town for a baseball tournament. My kids adore Jack and Sam and had so much fun with them. On Friday we hit one of Sam's baseball games and then enjoyed a yummy dinner at Pizza Factory.

Fun at the Pizza Factory - I love Jack's face sitting perfectly in the bread twists in this pic!

Saturday we caught another of Sam's ball games, then I got Madi down for a nap and went to work on my sugar cookie dough. Making holiday sugar cookies is one of my favorite things! I love sharing the tradition with my kids, making them with my Mom is one of my favorite memories of her. Her's were the best ever! I think mine come in a close 2nd. Sprinkles, Sprinkles & MORE SPRINKLES!

Annie & Madi
Our greatest friends, The Woodbury's, joined us for some cookie decorating, the kids had so much fun and went to town with the sprinkles and conversation hearts!

We had a great night decorating and eating cookies and having a yummy dinner. It was fun to have my Dad, Susan, Jack and Sam with us for the weekend. The kids had fun making Valentine cards for them and had tons of fun playing with all of them.
Great food, great cookies, great friends, great company, great weekend!

I agree with you about making sugar cookies. Even though they are time cosuming there is something sweet about them that goes with holidays and children. Yum..I'll have to try yours sometime!

You are such a great mom! What lucky kids! We had way too many sugar cookies at our house last week... I had to laugh when you said your "greatest friends" were the Woodburys... that's us too! :)
