Valentines Cookies (Feb 12th 2009)



The lovely dress that Indigo is wearing is from her Aunt Alissa, Uncle Steve, and cousin Sarina - we thought she looked so cute. Last year we had a blast doing cookies with Sarah and Aunt Ellen and so we had a repeat this year. Ellen and I both baked cookies so we had a lot to decorate. We would ice the cookies and then give the girls each a sheet to decorate - they love to sprinkle! At one point, the girls had decorated the one batch and were waiting while we iced another batch for decorating. Ellen suddenly said, I hear sprinkling... both them had started to decorate the table - you had to laugh. We had dinner together after the cookies were done and so it was a lovely evening. Ellen took Egan with them as they were looking after him for us while we had our upcoming Milwaukee/Madison trip. Egan loves being with them and Schatzie and we appreciate them looking after our boy so well. We look forward to cookies again next year.

I guess my cookies got lost in Milwaukee. I don't remember eating them. Beautiful dress. Indigo and Sara look so proud of their cookies. Love, Amy

Wow - the girls' faces have changed so much compared to last year's cookie decorating pictures. They both look so grown in comparison!

Amy, you must be correct about the cookies getting lost in Milwaukee. We didn't see any or hear anything about them when we visited at the end of Feb!
