2009 Cookie Day with Little Friends

It was nearly a year ago that two little friends came to make Christmas goodies while their mommy was gone to bring home their new brother and sister.

This year, there were four little friends joining us for cookie making!  And mommy and sis are gone to bring home another miracle!  Cool.

Boys baked first.

Now the girls!

Okay, who doesn't love that smile!?!  of course I mean my girlfriend,

although the puppy is pretty cute, too!

I was smarter this year:  more cookies and less candy!  And lots of mac and cheese!

From the littlest boy:  jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

From the middle boy:  jhgbdrsgsdxcuyhgbvfiopkiujhy

From the littlest girl:  ppppppppppppppppp//////////////iiiuyteeeee

From Middlest big girl:  i miss you mom  and love you too!

From you friend:  come home soon!  and Happy Ho Ho Ho!!!

Thanks Mom and Dad

There are certain moments as a parent that make you appreciate your own mom and dad.

The first: band and orchestra concerts. How did my parents sit through elementary, middle, high and then college concerts! At least by High School an College you could recognize the tune!

The second: Girl Scout Cookie sales. How many boxes did my parents sell fo me? How many did they just eat? As the sale begins this Friday, I think,
" didn't we just do this?" Order forms, money, cases of cookies!

Last, the bathroom. I dream of bathing without someone knocking on my bathroom door.

So thanks mom and dad for the concerts and cookies. And I'm sorry I knocked on the bathroom door so much!
