Cookies

A few weeks ago the littles and I decided to make cookies....

It was so much fun! They did a GREAT job! They (with little help from me) rolled them out, cut them, baked them and cooled them in the morning. Then later that afternoon we iced them.
Ty ate more than his weight in cookies (with and without icing).

Lily compared him to Max from the show Max & Ruby. She was so right...

Lily LOVES using the big red mixer.... at one point she was covered in flour... wish I would have taken a picture......

Marshall looking at me as though he isn't sure of the cookie baking with the littles


Lily informing Ty that he needs more flour because the roller is sticking to the dough and making a HUGE mess (her words).... her next words were OH I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TY... This is not the way we do it...

Lily and I were cutting out cookies when she looked over at the cooling rack and said, "MOM, where are all of the cookies?" You guessed it... TY ate more than 1/2 of them on this rack... He would sneak over to get them when I was helping Lily...

In action... eating the cookies

Lily wanted to use the pink icing because it matched her shirt and because she really loves pink...
(her words again)


Ty is very happy to use the blue icing and also to eat about every other cookie that he iced
The finished product... they were yummy!

heehee. Lu didn't even get to the rolling out part before he had eaten all his dough...his favorite word these days is "COOKIE!" Lu had so much fun baking that he needed a bath afterward : )

Have a very happy holiday! If you get a chance send me your address, I have a card for you guys. mel

Ha, ha, ha...I'm laughing so hard. These were so cute. The cookies looked yummy; Ty sure loved them as evidenced by the blue icing all over his face. So, cute! Loved the cat's expression too. Lily is getting to be such a big girl; prettier than ever and love how she's got one eye on Ty all the time! Wink!! Hope you had a great Christmas. miss you.

Hi Tiffany,

This is the first time I have ever commented on your blog. I have followed you and your sweet family for over a year now. Found you through Taryn, when she did my blog header for me. Lily and Ty are just to precious. I have a Lily from China as well. I love your photo's that you take. I have some questions to ask you if you don't mind. If I rememeber correctly you shoot with a Canon Rebel??? I hope I'm correct on that. If so, do you shoot on manuel or auto? What kind of lens do you use???? I have a Canon Rebel XSI, but would love to have brighter crisper photo's like you.

Sorry I haven't posted before, but I'm delurking now, and I'll be back if that's ok with you.

Your Lily reminds me so much of mine...and she is always talking about that "naughty bunny" Max too. (she just doesn't have a real, live one livin' with her! yet)...

Happy New Year to your beautiful family. Thank you for your wonderful friendship.
