......are the reason I've been M.I.A. on the blog:
Well, that's a LIE.
The real reason is this: this week I was sleepy. Sappy. Overwhelmed. And HOMESICK! But that is all behind me now thanks to a long chat with Dad and some holiday festivities!
So - let's get back to these cookies:
Introducing my high maintenance, very fragile, but ultra-adorable peanut butter reindeer!!!!
The production line I orchestrated on Wednesday and Thursday night was quite something. I had their creation down to a science and with Phil on dish duty, the two of us produced an entire North Pole of Rudolph's in record time! It was EPIC!!!!!!
The purpose behind the mass production was our cookie exchange party, hosted by Emily and I this afternoon. It was a wonderful time with a group of great gals (and BAKERS!!!!). Check out all the different cookies we had:
With Saturday's appointment in mind, I limited my consumption to two cookies (can I have a round of applause, please?). However, it was quite evident to Baby P that we were indulging in a rare treat because she had an instant celebratory dance party after a mere few bites!!! I'm hoping this wee spike in my sugar levels is undetectable at the doctor's office tomorrow......
In addition to enjoying some YUMMY cookies, we enjoyed a holiday playlist prepared by Heather that had all sorts of hidden gems! Each of the girls wore something festive too and we embraced the season of giving with a $140 donation to a local charity that provides relief to expat laborers in the area. Here are the woman who made the day a SUPERB ONE:
Thanks to all of you for your Christmas cheer, delicious treats, and charitable contribution! This gathering is exactly why I love this time of year.
XOXO
