day forty-eight: making cookies

We have an FRG meeting tonight and I volunteered to bring a snack so this morning Ben, Lexie, and I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.  We moved the mixer down to their kitchen table and it was much easier to let them help that way.

Ben had fun adding ingredients and then watching everything mix.

Little Miss "I don't want my picture taken"

And then she FINALLY decided to help.

YUM!!!  These cookies are good!!!

She wouldn't cooperate for pictures AT ALL today!
