With Steve home from the set of Spiderman (3D) on the weekend before Valentines' Day, Brooke wanted to make Valentine treats out of fortune cookies at our house. Initially, we thought "Oh, isn't that sweet! - our married daughter who seldom has her hubby at home chose to spend this precious time with us". And, it was a lot of fun, but we suspect that they may have wanted to mess up some house other than their own.
We had Lily and Michael helping, so some cookies ended up with lots of chocolate - and sparkles! especially sparkles. It made for really yummy fortune cookies, even if they were a little gaudy.
We found that if Brooke takes a picture at the same time that I do, you can get some interesting effects in the background.
The finished product was ready to be put into bags and delivered to friends and family. We all had a great time together. I realized that long after the memory of what it was that we made fades, the memory of the fun time we had with our beloved grandkids and our children (yes - even if they are about thirty years old) will always remain. This year, Janene and I celebrate our 42nd Valentine's Day together. We have another year to treasure.

First of all - Michael was the one who HAD to make Valentine's with his daddy. It was all for him. And second of all, it was Mom's idea! She mentioned it a few days before, so when Michael wanted to make something, it was the first thing we thought of. But, yes, making the mess at your house was a definite plus! Thanks for all the help - they were a hit!
thanks for the memory. I'm already collecting them for my useless old age. I have a bunch that are carefully guarded. We love our kids!
Mom
