    We’re having dinner at home and then I’m making my hubby some homemade sweets and a coupon book for fun things he can redeem. :)

    I made sugar cookies and decorated them with icing, also made some “Boston Cream Pie” cupcakes. Sent them to work with the hubby, the airmen like little treats now and then =)

    I made cheesecake stuffed fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate for valentines this year. I passed them out at work and as Valentines for family.
