Cookie Weekend 2008

Let the baking begin! Bev picked up matching aprons and hats for Frankie and Joey. Too cute!



Phyliss starts in on the dough...can't remember what kind though.



Chocolate Pizzas...delicious! Rick makes these and is planning to make a black and white version for the wedding!




Bev and Rissa discussing the doubling of a cookie recipe. Bev was smart and wrote out the doubled numbers on the recipes instead of us trying to figure them out on the fly.



Frankie and I unwrapping candies for the peanut butter kiss cookies.



Frankie taking a much needed tickle break with her Aunt Rissa.



Joey playing games with her Papa.



Homemade cinnamon rolls...mmm...I brought one home with real frosting for Nathan!



Squirrel Lovers do need read further! They have a real problem with squirrels so they've resorted to a beebee gun. Well, apparently Noah's aim is a little too good sometimes. I promise, they try normally to scare the squirrels, not kill them!



A group shot during the Holidazzle. I was impressed that the man got everyone in!



Rissa and I enjoying the parade.



And then, I dropped my camera. And it busted. So, the rest of this story will be told in pictures from Rissa and Bev.

Libby watching to Holidazzle with Joey. She was so good, especially considering how freezing it was outside!



Rissa and I waiting for Santa. Okay, we were just trying to entertain ourselves.



Rissa and Joey at the end of the parade. Isn't this a sweet picture?



Check out our loot!



Joey just loved playing with Tank and Kaiser. She would sit on them, bounce, play with their ears...anything they'd let her do.



Frankie loved decorating cookies with her Papa. They've done it together every year that I've attended. It's nice for them to bond and SOOOOO nice that us other girls don't have to do it! Rick flew back just for the weekend...



In action...



Frankie, Papa and their loot!



The last night the girls got to wear their new Christmas pajamas. Aren't they sweet?



All in all it was a great weekend. We all traveled too and from safely. Nate and I are slowly eating the goods that I brought home. We're so glad that we have different favorites, otherwise there might be a bit of a throwdown! Ha!
