VALENTINES DAY

Here is a quick look at what the C Monster and I were up to this week to celebrate the day of love...

We made these cake pops for a Valentines day party that was at our house for C and all his friends.  They may look complicated but it was one of the easiest things I have ever made. 

• Buy pound cake cut it up in hearts with a cookie cutter
• Stick popsicle sticks in the bottom
• Freeze overnight
• Use store bought frosting (this is important) melt it in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds on medium heat
• Once it's pretty liquidy dip your frozen cake pops in; let extra frosting drip off
• It's good if you can find a way to stand up the cake pops while they dry not to mess up the frosting on the back
• Once dry, decorate as pleased
• Store in refrigerator until ready to eat (you can pull out about an hour before)

This was Geoff Valentines day present C Monster selected the tool box and then said we need fill it with tools. When I asked what kind off tools he said tool treats.

Valentines day breakfast at the Wiseman's. Heart shaped Wow Butter and Honey sandwich with a side of chocolate dots and oranges.

NOEL...

This is not only C Monster's first Christmas in our new house but it's the first Christmas that we spend all together in Toronto as we typically go home to New Brunswick.  Here is our morning in video and pictures...

The C Monster got us up at 7am after a good night sleep....

Thank you everyone...
