Valentine's Day

Liam and I have been doing Valentine's related crafts for the past week or so. He really loved potato stamping these sheets of paper (and, yes, he is wearing only a bib).

Those sheets of paper turned into these Valentine's cards. Liam helped me glue them together.

We spent Sunday afternoon preparing all of the makings for our special valentine's family dinner, which, of course, meant a dessert preview. Liam helped me lick the pan clean of all the leftover smears of chocolate ganache that dripped off the boston cream pie.

yummy

Gabriel and Liam worked together to fill and shape our ravioli.

The dinner was awesome:

Heart-Shaped Ricotta and Basil Ravioli

topped with

Hearty Beef Ragu Sauce
served with

Roasted Broccoli

and

Heart-Shaped Biscuits

We overstuffed ourselves, and barely had room for the barest smidgen of a slice of the boston cream pie. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to eat more of the dessert tonight...
