Today is the Valentine Day!
This day here is different from that in Western countries, I think. 
We have the Happy Valentine on February 14 and the White Day on March 14.
The former is the date when girls give sweets to their favorite boys.
On the other hand, the latter is the date when boys getting the sweets, give something to the girls. It's the date to return presents to the girls.
Recently it's very familiar here that girls give handmade sweets to their friends, we say "tomo-choco", or "friendly chocolates". 
Mothers having girls here must have been busy during this weekend. 
My daughters had been making sweets since this morning
And they finished now, it's 11:40pm...
I had cooked together until the last Valentine's Day, but they cooperated to plan and make what they wanted by themselves this time.
Though they asked me to help for mixing separated wheat and didn't know how to use a microwave, they followed the recipes and made well.
I'm writing this blog, while thinking about them with admiration.
They did a great work today.
These are photos my kids made by themselves.
バレンタインデーって、海外とちょっと違うってのを、今年初めて知りました。海外では主に男性から女性に花を送ったり、恋人同士愛を確認し合う日なんだって。
ホワイトデーは無いんだって～日本では本命チョコだけでなく、友チョコやら、義理チョコも定番になっているので、女の子を持つ親にとっては、忙しい週末だったのではないかな？
ようやく完成したようです、ただ今の時刻、午後11時半。
うちの娘たちも、朝から頑張ってお菓子作りをしました。
去年までは一緒に作っていたけれど、今年は二人だけで協力して作りあげました。
小麦粉が上手く混ざらなかったり、電子レンジの使い方が分からなかったり、たまに聞いては来たけれど、それ以外はレシピを見ながら仕上げました。
つくづく大きくなったなあ～って感心しながら、今ブログを書いています。
ちゃんと出来たみたい。
良かった、良かった～～
