Pete’s back!

It was such a circus at the airport, mainly comprised of our large extended family, that I couldn’t get any decent pictures. Everyone was vying for the best spots, so I ended up with a lot of the back of his head. The above picture is the best I got, in which he’s hugging my mother-in-law. We all got the italian double kiss. The brothers had a grand time with that. But they’re a bum-pinching family anyway. Well, the boys are, amongst themselves.

The party was great. The cookies were great.

The nice thing about these cookies as opposed to the sugar cookies I made on Monday, is that I could roll and sugar coat them sitting at the table, instead of standing at the counter. So I didn’t get nearly as tired. But I’m still tired. I will type up the recipe for you soon.

Veronica was a big help, and was rolling and coating cookies right along with me. That was fun. When I was taking the cookie picture, she asked if I’d take her picture, too. So I did. And she would neither sit still nor look at the camera, so I only got a couple keepers, and even they’re a little blurry.

As far as Cable-Eights go, I know that Jenn has been working on hers, and it looks very nice. Anyone else?

I’m in a bit of a rush, I need to be at the school in 15 minutes, and Veronica isn’t awake yet. I haven’t been able to rouse her.

    Your cookies look EXACTLY like my grandma’s gingersnaps. She has it down to a science…each one is exactly the same shape as the next and she gets exactly 24 from a batch. YUM! Yours made my mouth happy just looking at them 😉
