Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Last night, we put out our Valentine's shoes. This is a new idea invented by Hannah, whose imagination was captured by St. Nicholas Day and the shoes. She used her own money to buy conversation hearts to put in everyone's shoes, and she cut out hearts for that purpose, too. Both girls tried to get up at 5:15 in order to check their shoes. Those who know Naomi know that this is a disaster waiting to happen. Luckily, Michael talked them down -- or in this case, back up -- and they slept a bit more. Hannah was still up at 6, but Naomi slept until almost 8.







The day has been full of kitchen activity. Michael's been baking up a storm, and the latest project is another vegan cupcake -- cookies and creme this time.

Michael loves it when I take candid cooking pictures of him.



See?





Naomi's not about to miss any of the chocolate-sweet-making action.



And she's brought her friends to enjoy the fun, too. They're sitting on the produce, where they can get a good view of the goings-on.











Hannah is in charge of ingredients.













And some more Michael cooking shots, which are so dear to him:
