My Funny Valentines

Bella enjoys her Valentine's Day treats!
Valentines day has always been a fun time, but it's getting even more exciting now that I have little girls to shower with love! Today was no exception, Vivi and Bella got some new toys, and were allowed to eat chocolate BEFORE BREAKFAST! Then I made them a special meal of heart-shaped strawberry pancakes! They were super sticky afterwards, so they got to have a pink bubble bath, and they are now all decked out in their Valentine's day best! Later on we will go visit my best friend from my childhood, Ashley, and her daughter Alexis, who is Bella's best friend. 
Vivienne loves her pancakes!

To make the heart-shaped strawberry pancakes you simply add 3/4 cup of chopped strawberries and 3 drops wilton pink gel food coloring to pancake batter (however you prefer to make pancakes, I use Aunt Jemima's pancake mix) I cut a heart out of the middle of each pancake using a cookie cutter. Next, I put strawberry jelly between each one, and drizzled honey over the top, and finished the whole thing off with a sprinkling of powdered sugar! The girls really loved them!
