Valentine Cookies

The kids and I made sugar cookies the other day to kick off Valentine's Week (it's actually not usually a big holiday around here, but I decided to make it a little bigger this year). I'd picked up some heart cookie cutters last year and would have been a little disappointed with myself if I'd missed the perfect chance to use them.

I found this recipe on my go-to blog and it didn't let me down. These cookies were great!

I had three different sized heart cookie cutters

We just used canned, pink frosting. Yum.

All he wanted to do was eat frosting.

Banany did a great job rolling out the dough.

I loved the tiny cookie cutter.
