cookies!

today was cookie day! every year we get together to make and decorate a ton of cookies. lucky for you, we took lots of pictures!

cj dragged beth out of bed very early in the morning to roll out, cut out, and bake the cookies.


the kids get to frost and decorate them with tons and tons of sprinkles.


the moms have to monitor the children closely to make sure that they don't dump 93 red hots onto one cookie.


they really aren't allowed to lick their fingers, but we caught a few of them disobeying.


after frosting about 6 cookies each, the kids decide that jumping on the trampoline is more fun, and the taller people are left to frost the rest.


there was some dispute over whether this cookie said "go irish go" or "go trish go". we're still not sure.


after several hours, every cookie was frosted, and every tongue was stained with food coloring.

How fun! It looks like everyone had a great time! It's so great to see CJ out and about with everyone

I'm a big fan of "go Trish go" - as long as you are referring to my studies and not my leaving your house. But since ND plays before I defend, I'll generously allow it to be "Go Irish Go."

it says "Go Irish Go"!!! i don't know why dad thought it said "go Trish go" but i guess that would be true too;-)

Well, I'm for loyalty no matter what, so lets just say the cookie is multi-tasking.
