Cookie Baking Night 01/13/20

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Ethan, Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. Tonight was Ethan's birthday choice. He turns 17 in a few days. For supper, he chose pizza (with banana peppers) and for his cookie, chocolate chip cookies.

Tonight was also Ethan's Cookie Baking Night graduation. As the nieces and nephews  turn 17, we have a graduation party. This gives them the opportunity to make the decision if they want to keep coming to Cookie Baking Nights on a regular basis or not or as we like to say "join the ranks of alumni". It also gives their aunt and uncle a chance to have a little closure, look at all the pictures we've taken over the years, tell sappy stories of how we remember when they were "this big", and genuinely celebrate the blessing it's been to have them here all these years. 

We love you, Ethan! Our doors are always open to you.
