For the past two years I have been invited to a wonderful cookie and ornament exchange. Last year, I admit I bartered with another friend of mine to make the cookies. I brought the ornaments and she provided the homebaked cookies. I had that whole “I just moved excuse” but really it was “I have no idea what to do, can you do it for me”. Without that excuse this year, I had to find something I could bring (plus she was not able to attend so I am forced to do it myself J).
I bought the Better Homes and Gardens holiday cookies issue to look through and find a recipe. B has a big sweet tooth so with his help a great looking cookie was picked out, and of course he convinced me that we needed to try to make the cookies before in order to be sure they will turn out ok! A did this a couple of weeks ago so I was ready this past weekend to bake and attend the party! Here are the results! I also made a name plate so everyone would know what kind of cookies they are with scrapbook paper.

Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
