Sift Stir Bake Repeat

We held the FIRST Annual Girls Family Cookie Bake at our house today, and we had a blast! 

The oven was cranked, the ingredients plentiful, hands were busy and cookies were being tested (mmmm!).

Everyone streamed in starting about noon and we staggered all of our baking times.  We snacked, baked, chatted, snacked, laughed, scolded Tommy for stealing all of the cookies, and baked some more :)

Carmen and Alex hard at work decorating the sugar cut-out cookies.

Beware, the next two photos are offensive if you are of the sort who finds the juxtaposition of potty humor and food wrong!

You were warned!

Alex busied herself with preparing a wonderful salad of hamburger, grapes, ketchup, bread, melon, and…you name it, it was in there!

Ty was busy coughing up a storm (poor little man) and Marlo was just looking cool with her upside down pink glasses, all while watching Snow White…

The jury is still out on just how many cookies the kids ingested.  Any and all who aided and abetted please come forward (ahem, Tommy, Ann…)!

Here’s one (almost) final picture of the tablescape, there are still several cookies missing from this one!

Cherry cookies with icing by Haley (It should also be mentioned that precious baby girl Scout just charmed us all with her sweetness, no cookies or sugar necessary!)

I made decorated sugar cut-out cookies
