Valentine's Mini photoshoot

Valentine's Day is one of my favorites because it's my birthday month. I also love crafting so when I was a kid I loved making my valentine's for my classmates in school. Whoever your crush was they got the best one, and of course your enemies got the worst.
And when I mean crafty I mean my mom bought the paper doilies and we cut out the hearts.
but then after years my mom finally started buying the strawberry shortcake and barbie ones.
I know there are people who hate Valentine's because they are single, or divorced or whatever the circumstance. But I have always celebrated it with all of my family and my kids. I love sharing love notes.


I will tell you my worst Valentine's ever though. I had a crush on this boy Travis. My friend Heather and I decided we would get presents for our crushes. I knew that he loved Men in Black, so I talked my mom into buying a Men in Black poster and some chocolates.
The next day I went and put it by his backpack and watched his girlfriend Savannah and him open it and laugh about it. Talk about painful guys! He never talked to me after that and my mom wasted probably $29.99. We are talking 1997 ago and I still remember it.

but anyways......(wipe tear)


So when Sheila asked me to do a session with her for a valentine's themed shoot I thought it was such a cute idea. How fun is it to make cookies with your kids but you don't get to document it. Apart from the HUGE mess they make. Raelyn especially loves to crack eggs. But Zion loves to tell people that his "talent" is baking. And I think it's the sweetest because I love baking with Zion.
Sage loves it for a minute but she gets distracted easily, that one. And then there is Betty. Don't get me started on her. Doing anything is basically the worst. No matter what she is always there...........

So we used my cute rustic table and some of our kitchen stuff and the darling rolling pins from target and let the kids just go to town on playing in the dough and making cookies and then let them decorate already baked ones. They had so much fun in this session and they were so stinking cute.
But I have good news for you!
