Heart Shaped Cookies

My sister said she did more before 11 am with us on President's Day than she does all day. We woke up early (thanks Eliza) and were at Urth Cafe for breakfast a minute before 8 am. By 10 we had decorated heart-shaped cookies with Addie which we had baked the day before. By 11 we had played t-ball and thrown a nerf football around the backyard. After that we packed up the car and head up the coast to El Matador Beach in Malibu. I told her that our weekend mornings usually involved a lot more television and time in our PJs, but we only had one day with Auntie Jennifer so I wanted to take advantage of every second!

I highly recommend this sugar cookie recipe from, who else, Martha Stewart. They were perfect for decorating and yummy too!
