Celebrating Easter Early

Is it too early to be decorating Easter cookies (is that a traditional Easter food?)?  Brady and Jamie made some dough (his grandma's recipe!), then they brought it over for us to cut and decorate with Lily.  Decorating cookies with a 2 year old goes a little something like this:

Me- "Lily, can I borrow the sprinkles?"
Lily- "In one minute"
Jamie- "Lily, stop eating the frosting"
Brady- "Let's have a cookie decorating contest"
Me- "Lily, stop eating the frosting"
Lily- "I need more sprinkles!"
Jamie- "Lily, stop eating the frosting!"

That Bunny is Brady's handy work!

We may or may not have run out of frosting for all of the cookies.  (Hint: we may have) Anywho, we had a lot of fun...and tons of cookies left over!

P.S The Bachelor finale is on tonight! I am really torn for who I think he picks (I would rather it be Tenley, or neither!)  We will just have to wait!

Finally!

I've been trying for months to get Jamie and Brady to take their engagement pictures since they asked me, and finally this weekend we did them! Here are a few...

Hello! Cookie Factory!

My sister and I have this fun little game that we like to call, "Cookie Factory." It consists of us baking cookies, or anything of the related source.

When we play, here are the rules:
1.) Make something sweet (cookies, candy, etc.)
2.) Make the biggest mess you can. (This includes flour EVERYWHERE, especially on your face).

3.) This is the most important rule: When the phone rings, you have to answer, "Hello! Cookie Factory! (It's the most fun if we don't use caller I.D.)

Well, today we played cookie factory! This time, we included my sister's fiance, Brady. As well as his sister Bree, and her friend Charee who are in town this week. We made chocolate covered gummie bears and chocolate covered pretzels.

It was fun to make after watching Eco Trip, which this series first episode was about the environmental impact of chocolate and the process of making it. Not only is this show funny, and educational, but the host is really cute!

So, now we are waiting for them to harden, so that we can enjoy them. I hope everything turned out okay!
