Cookies Galore

I've always loved playing hooky on snow days and making cookies.  And now it's actually an appropriate activity!  This Tuesday the schools were closed so Ellie and I made sugar cookies and then invited the neighbor girls over to help decorate/cover themselves in frosting.  Other than making a serious rookie mistake (next time:  lunch then cookies, not cookies then lunch!) it was great.  And I haven't stopped eating cookies since.

Pirate Ellie measures the flour.

Gabe and Gaby perform quality control.

Pirate Ellie insisted on using a butterfly cookie cutter.  Why not?

Later in the week we made gingerbread boys for Ellie's teachers.    And now we're officially out of cookies.  We better get baking!
