BRRRR


Baby it is cold outside! Donna, I sure hope you are faring better in Minnesota than us Iowans. Nothing like a little snow w/ 30-40 mph winds to make you stay inside. I am hoping the roads are doing ok so I can actually get to the highway tomorrow and get to work.


The kids and I made cookies yesterday. Nothing like Arctic temps to bring out the baker in me!

Emma wanted cut out sugar cookies. Yeah, that didn't work out so hot. I was going to cut the recipe in half (I mean seriously who actually wants to make 7 doz sugar cookies!) but in the midst of cutting the butter in half I got a phone call and forgot to cut the sugar and eggs in half so I had to add the rest of the butter after the fact. They are quite yummy, but I couldn't quite get them rolled out and able to use my very cute cookie cutters. I told the kids a circle is a shape so that should count for something =) They had fun frosting them and adding decor. Not sure who likes to eat sugar cookies with toffee bits, mini chocolate chips, swirled chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, mini york mints, and sprinkles, but as I told Jamie...some people make sugar cookies that are a work of art, our kids make abstract art =)


Stay warm!
