THAT FAMILY THAT PLAYS TOGETHER...

No wait...we weren't playing! I put everybody to work helping 

me with a decorated cookie order that is due tomorrow along 

with soup and fresh bread for the staff in the medical clinic. Some

times I feel guilty getting paid to make these because I am having

so much fun LOL

Here are some of the cookies we made--they taste wonderful! 

They are soft and buttery and the icing melts in your mouth

but dries hard enough that they can be stacked together.

We celebrated my sister in law's birthday on Sunday 

evening with a big surprise party. Her mother set it up 

so she sat in a throne, wore a crown and lei and had a 

trumpet blow to announce her arrival! I made her a special 

cake because she is a very special person in our family. White 

sour cream almond cake, vanilla buttercream frosting and 

the poinsettias are handmade from chocolate and so is 

the gift tag. 

Happy Birthday Allison--we love you, CHA CHA CHA!
