Cookie Day

Every year my mom, sisters & I have a cookie day where we bake cookies for our family and friends (and of course our husbands). I hosted this year. Each of us bake 2 or 3 kinds of cookies at our own houses, and then we bake 4 more kinds together, usually ending up with about 12 different kinds. My mom usually makes her famous carmels and peanut brittle. We always make Russian Teacakes, Peanut Blossoms, and Spritz. Then we usually experiment with other kinds, including some from my Cookie Bible.
Preslee & Me - wearing my apron that Kacie brought back from Spain.
Chef Trevor in what he likes to call his "Baker's Shirt".

Me and Preslee in the Baby Bjorn - we have an old photo of me holding Trevor in this while wrapping carmels on cookie day a few years ago.

Nap Time - Trevor went to sleep and woke up saying, "I'm not tired."

Little Peanut

Mmmmm....Peanut Blossoms.

Russian Teacakes, Peanut Brittle, Spritz, Fudge and Carmels. What more could a girl ask for?
