Happy Valentine's Day!

We are sending lots of love to everyone we can't personally hug & kiss today!

Saturdays are pancake day in our house. It's a tradition that I had growing up and soon after Larson was old enough to eat pancakes (and I wasn't working almost every Saturday!) I started making them in my own house. We make them from scratch, with buttermilk and real maple syrup and they are so good. Larson likes to help, too, and almost has the recipe memorized. He can measure and whisk like nobody's business! Today, I decided to try being a little crafty and make heart-shaped pancakes for Valentine's Day. I'd say I did a pretty good job without one of those fancy pancake molds:

Here's the end result (note to self: there's a reason why food magazines put garnishes on the plates - looks a little bland with just the food, huh?):

The activity for the afternoon is making Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and lots of sprinkles! Here's hoping that I don't spill the powdered sugar all over the place like I did the last time I made cake frosting...
