Happy New Year

What have you been doing this year? We celebrated:

We baked a cake for Pop's bday (Boston Cream all from scratch):

Kate tasted frosting and also discovered pockets. Big day for her!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Hope you had a good one!

Tis the season

How many cookies did you make today? 1 dozen?

Maybe 2 dozen?

Or more?

Trees

Got your tree decorated yet?

Got your kids decorated yet?

Thanksgiving

Here are some Thanksgiving cookies. Had fun with the turkeys. Here are some other turkeys I have fun with:

At their Thanksgiving feasts at school. This was right before Weston puked at the table because he was forced to try the mashed potatoes. I was supermom and managed to catch all puke in napkins with minimal disruption to the feast. Good times.

Halloween Cookies and Kids

What is Halloween without....COOKIES? Who wants boring candy.

This is who. My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. He taught my sweet little bee what this is all about. Sippy cup, candy bag and lollipop in mouth and she's ready to go. He did offer for her to stay home and he would take her bag and get candy for her. Right. I'm sure she would get the candy.

Race Car Cookies

"How about some Nascar cookies for my husband's birthday?"
"Sure, no problem."

Except I know nothing about Nascar other than checkered flags and "Gentlemen, start your engines". My "go to" site for cookie ideas had 3 pictures of race car cookies. Not very inspiring. So I searched and asked for ideas and this is what I came up with. What does the rpm dial even go up to? I just had to guess.

Who would have thought that cookie decorating would lead me to the Nascar website? And, who buys those dye-cast cars on that site for that much money???
