chocolate covered

It all started when a snazzy little package landed on my doorstep. Inside was heaven:
My most amazing parents sent me chocolate covered strawberries for Mother's Day! Shhhh...don't tell my siblings. I think they got perennials or something definitely less indulgent. The benefits of living out of state, huh?

The chocolate covered weekend had only just begun.

On Sunday, my hubby presented me with more chocolate strawberries. Mmmm. Doesn't he know me so well?

Apparently, the berries don't fall too far from the plant, if you catch my drift. Miss Kate couldn't get the delectable treats out of her mind, either. So, on Monday I told her we could make some more.

She, actually, did all the work. She carefully washed and dried the berries, stirred up the chocolate. I showed her once how to dip them, and she was off! She even thought of adding the toppings herself. The only thing I helped with was the decorative white chocolate stripes.

Sharing her special treat was treat in itself. What a proud little chocolatier!

Strawberry Heaven for you-yummy. Kate did a fantastic job!

Yah, definitely not fair! :( I would have gladly traded you a few berries and given you the opportunity to get dirty planting some perennials! :) I better tell Mom and Dad that if they keep spoiling you like that, you'll never move back to Utah!

SO FUN! You have the best ideas. When my daughter says I'm awesome and the best mommy ever, I won't tell her all my good ideas come from Aunt Adri!

This little girl must have some Croxford genes in her! I can't believe how old she looks. I miss you guys!

These are my favorite too!!! I have a few children who are big fans and will sneak them if I don't get to them first.

Looks yummy! I wish I could have a bite! I can't believe how old Kate is getting (well, ALL of your kids)! Looking forward to seeing you guys sometime--hopefully soon!
