February Lovin'

February started off with my mother in laws birthday! Meet the beautiful and talented Bobbie Sevy!!

We celebrated with cake on Super bowl Sunday. This is the dessert I brought: Strawberry shortcake.

At the beginning of the month we bought Downton Abbey season 3. Can I just tell you how much I despise this show right now??? LOL...If you watch it, you know what I mean!

The Sunday before Valentine's day I made chocolate lips for all of the kids in our Nursery class.

A couple of days before Valentine's Day I put a couple of plates together of Valentine's goodies. They unintentionally ended up being a chocolate themed plates, fortunately nobody complained. ; )

These were my favorite from the plates I made last year! They are just SO cute with the Valentine themed M&Ms!

Chocolate dipped marshmallows:

I also made Oreo balls. Pretty much the easiest recipe ever!

Ingredients:

1 (16 ounce) package Oreo cookies, crushed

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (24 ounce) package white chocolate bark
1 (24 ounce) package chocolate bark

Directions:

-Use a blender to crush your Oreos. 

-Then mix your cream cheese and Oreos together.

-Roll Oreo mix into walnut size balls.

-Put Oreo balls in freezer for an hour or so.

-Melt white chocolate or milk chocolate almond bark in bowl. 

-Dip Oreo balls in chocolate and decorate to your pleasing. : )

I also made some puppy chow and put it in cute Valentine's bag.

It was like 2a.m. by the time I was done with all the other goodies and was going to make icing to ice the cookies. I was so tired there was NO WAY I was making icing and frosting those sugar cookies. So I just dipped them in chocolate!

Here is a complete plate:

Wrapped up and ready to go!

On Valentine's Day we both had to work ALL day (SO not cool). After work I ran over to the Bake Shoppe and picked up some sweets for our homemade dinner that evening. 

He's so cute in his apron!!! : )

The homemade ding dong I picked up from the Bake Shoppe. I actually ordered two, but they had given one of them away to someone else! Not cool, it just topped off my already bad day. 

Here's the arrangement I had sent to Spencer's work that day : )

Our candlelit dinner. Spence cut our steaks in the shape of hearts. haha...so cute!!

I just love this boy.

Pretty necklace from my man!!

New headphones!!

After dinner and presents we went and ding dong ditched a couple of houses with our Valentine's plates. It ended up being the perfect night despite the craziness at work that day! I hope you all had the best Valentine's Day too!!! Love you all! Thanks for following.
