Cookie Day 2009

Yeah! We reinstated cookie day in our family this year. I was looking forward to seeing everyone all week. Then...my mommy and I got sick. =( It was a rough morning, but we were both determined to try to have fun for cookie day. Grandma, Aunna and Melissa really made the day happen and we ended up with bunches of yummy cookies. Mommy and I haven't had any yet...our tummy's are still recovering, but mommy did save a few...maybe tomorrow! Check out the pics of our fun day.

Mommy let me open one present for cookie day....

It was my very own rolling pin and cookie cutters. Here I am showing Melissa my rolling pin and she is showing me hers.

Grandma getting some snuggle time in with Joseph (we were so happy that he and Melissa came...cookie day originated with them when they were little kids).

Melissa, Keisha and Grandma...more snuggles

awwww...sooooo cute!

Keisha spent lots of time with me - even when I was too tired to help cook...we snuggled on the floor in my room

Daniel was a decorating pro

The action!

Even Joseph helped cut out some sugar gookies...what a guy!

Daniel and Melissa getting their decorating on!

After I had a bath I cam out to help make some sugar cookies for my Papa...I hope he likes them!

My Aunna let me shake the sprinkles...that was fun!

My mommy even helped out...she felt (and looked) pretty icky, but we still had fun.

Check out all of the cookies...already to be packaged up!

Mommy read everyone a story. It's one of my favorite's..."The Mitten" by Jan Brett. It was a great night!!!!

A busy day loaded with fun

On Friday my mommy took me to visit my Grandma and her friends at work. I was rather shy at first, but after a few little snacks and a rousing game of "where's Janet?" I was warmed up and ready to play.

When I was done visiting I was able to go get Keisha after school let out (my Grandma works at the same school Keisha attends). I love Keisha very much and was excited to see her. When we left the school we went to Daniel's school and picked him up. I didn't think the day could get any better and then....my friend Hannah and her mommy came over to play too!!! I had so much fun! I was a bit wild and messy with my toys, but I think it was because I was overwhelmed with excitement. I was even blessed with some very special Christmas presents from Hannah and her mom and dad...a santa Mr. Potato Head and my very own snowman soup (hot cocoa mix) and mug (for those wintery snowy days). LOVE IT!

I love spending time with people that I love - It's great to know that God loves blessing his children!!!

Here I am with Janet, Keisha, (me), Grandma, and Carolyn! Here is the great Charlie Brown Christmas decor that they put up at my Grandma's job...its adorable!

Time with Hannah

Last week my friend Hannah was able to come over and play with me while her mommy and daddy went out to eat and did some Christmas shopping. As always, we had a great time together. It is such a joy to be able to create special friendships and an even greater joy to know that God provides us with friends that are incredible blessings in our lives.
