Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day this year my kids could bring valentine's for the kids in class and I thought well I'll make something to give to teacher's and staff. I've done this for each and every "holiday" as a thank you for all they do for us and my kids. I made a double batch so that I could give to my kids to bring in for classmates too..

I found a recipe for "Valentine's heart cookie sandwich's" read all the reviews and modified things a bit. This is what they ended up looking like.....

These are the bags for the teacher's and some of the staff. Some are just the cookie sandwich's with homemade sugar cookie frosting(made with Almond Extract in place of Vanilla, yummmmmm) and the others are made with seedless raspberry jam with some lemon juice then topped with the frosting....

These are for the little kids, they each got the little heart that was cut out with frosting on it. The bigger kids got an individual big cookie with frosting on it. Turned out real well and according to all the staff I saw last night at conference's they were delish :-)
Chris came home with a bouquet of flowers and the card, well lets say it was awesome, I love this husband of mine.(most days) and I returned the favor later in the night :)

Hope you all had a day too........
