Happy Whoppie Day

Hello virtural world out there. Happy Valentines Day...or Whoppie day. I have a bunch of things to share from this past weekend and today. So lets start with the weekend. Mike and I headed home to see Emma and visit with my parents. As I mentioned before she had ACL surgery. Before she went into surgery she could barely walk, so this was a much needed surgery. We picked her up on Saturday morning and she came roaring out of the office like a new gal. She is already able to put some weight on her leg and she was in great spirits. Here are a few pics of the patient.

On Saturday I had an urge to bake and I had found the perfect recipie for the upcoming "holiday". They are red velvet whoppie pies. Now mind you I have never made whoppie pies so this was a first. Luckily mom was there to help and she helped me conquer the dreaded pastry bag. ( I am not the best using them and mom was a big help). These turned out ok not sure I liked the texture but they were still good. Here are a few pics from the baking adventure.



While we were at home we had a belated bday celebration for Mike. We all went out to a nice dinner and enjoyed the evening. So it was a great weekend at home visiting with family and taking care of my baby Emma. We all had to smoosh to fit in the pic!

And last but not least Happy Valentines Day. I still think this is a hallmark holiday so I don't go overboard celebrating. Love should be shared and expressed everyday not just today. But no matter how you decide to spend the day I hope it is with someone you love. Thanks to my Valentine for my beautiful flowers and our surprise dinner later tonight. Love you.

PS. Thanks Mom for the Valentines day gift card!! Mike and I can't wait to use it.
