Cookies with Teenie

Gracelyn got to go over to Auntie Teenie's house to bake Christmas cookies. This girl was covered from head to toe in flower, powdered sugar and frosting. The cookies were delicious and super cute!

Cookie Monsters

The Nino kiddos have been staying with us for a few days while mom and dad enjoyed a few days in fabulous Las Vegas. Here were a couple pics of their last night here. I made chocolate chip cookies and from their faces I think they enjoyed them!!

Too Cool..

Last night was a stay home night for all 4 of us finally!! Justin has been gone and our schedules have been nuts!!

Last night we baked Ranger Cookies and played around before bedtime. Gracie had dug out all these old sunglasses from the dress up bin. It wasn't good enough to be wearing an old flower girl dress, she had to spice it up. Here are the many shots of her and her sis with cookies on their face and these goofy get ups. What could be more entertaining on a Friday night?? Here is the recipe for these yummy treats!!
