- Evolving Motherhood

written by Catherine December 12, 2008

Okay so, you might be thinking to yourself “It’s 8:30 on a Friday night…Does this girl have a life? Why is she posting now? Why didn’t she post earlier in the day?” Let me answer those questions right now and get it over with:

No, I do not have a life. I am old. Yes, I know I am only 25 but here’s my thought: You are only as old as you feel and man do I feel old (but that is for another post). I did not post earlier today because I have been taking part in a yearly tradition…Cookie Day! Basically, cookies day is made up of a few key ingredients

1. Lots of ingredients, for cookies I mean

2. My Grandma

3. My Sister, “G”

and

4. Me (the last two years Monkey has also joined us, I would

say she has earned a spot as the 5th key ingredient now.)

We literally spent hours in my Grandma’s kitchen baking hundreds of cookies today. So that should answer your questions and 7 different types of cookies later I am here to post for the day…finally!

And now for the proof…

Monkey wore a special cookie baking top today. She was very excited about the cookie on her shirt, I am not sure why since the kid hasn’t eaten a cookie before.

Here is Grandma and My sister “G” working away on some Chocolate Crinkle Cookies.

Monkey was pretty freaked out but this Santa in Grandma’s living room. She touched it eventually but as you can see she stayed as close to her Aunt G as possible.

Here is some of our spoils. This is only part of it, there are easily another 5 tins full of cookies that did not make it into this shot.

So Cookie Day is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I shared one of mine now you share one of yours. If you want to leave a link to your blog post about a tradition that would be lovely…or leave a comment!
