Cookie Baking Night 08/24/2020

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. Tonight was Allison's Birthday choice (she turned 10 a few days ago). For supper she chose Pancakes, Strawberries & Blueberries, and Whipped Cream. 

Uncle Greg made the pancakes tonight. When he was young, his Aunt Monica would make pancakes for him in the shape of a G. Greg thought that was a very special thing, so he made a special pancake for Allison in the shape of an A. 

For her "cookie", Allison chose Chex Bars (a carmalized Chex cereal, M&Ms, cashew mixture). 

And "Cheerios Bars" (think Special K bars with Honey Nut Cheerios and no chocolate). 

This year we haven't been doing our regular family gatherings for birthdays (due to COVID19), so we gave Allison her present at Cookie Baking Night (a Shopkins car and a missionary biography of Elisabeth Elliot). 

We finished off our evening with Allison's favorite game, Pictureka. Uncle Greg even joined in on the merriment. And I can definitely say "a fun time was had by all". 

 

Cookie Baking Night (08/10/20)

 Tonight was Cookie Baking NIght. In attendance this evening: Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. 

Tonight was Enzo's birthday choice. For supper, he chose cheese pizza and apples. For his cookie he chose "gingerbread houses". 

Because gingerbread house supplies are a bit scarce in August, we did a summer version using sugar cookie houses. 

I think, for Enzo, it was all about the frosting and the sprinkles.

We spent a little time outside playing a game of lawn darts 

And rolling down the hill

Since family birthday gatherings are a bit unpredictable this year (due to COVID-19), we decided to give Enzo his birthday gift at Cookie Baking Night.

As usual, a fun time was had by all (especially Enzo).
