Update: Pictures from the real cookie exchange have arrived!
I guess I didn’t get a picture of the actual cookies. They were very good! I did get a picture of some of the kids though!
A week ago, I was thinking it would be fun to host a get-together at our house with some of our new friends. The girls and I decided to host a cookie exchange. For new, the motivation was more a social event than to get cookies, but hey! The cookies were an added delicious benefit! Every kind was so yummy! We had 7 ladies come and lot of kids. I made beef/veggie/barley soup for lunch, another lady brought rolls and another, delicious Cajun red beans and rice. Everyone came around 9:45 and the last people left close to 2! We all had a great time!
Per my sister Therese’s advice, we made this recipe of toffee http://fiveintow.com/2013/11/16/simply-homemade-butter-toffee/. It was delicious!!!!
My pictures of the cookie exchange are on my camera. These are from a different cookie baking day at our neighbors’ house. We see Becky and the boys almost every day and are so thankful for their friendship and proximity to us! It’s nice to know that there’s someone around if I need anything. I think Becky has become my adopted sister 🙂
This Is The Day!
