Welcome to the World

My co-worker's mother-in-law ordered these cookies for her co-worker that just had a baby boy. She gave me creative license for the arrangement which is always fun. Even better, she thoughtfully asked that I include Baby Jonathan's older sister, Adaline. So I got to include some pink girly cookies in the order. Win win.

For all those that aren't fans not the NBC TV show, The Office, you can tune out now.

For all those that are fans of The Office, this was a win win win. And Oscar didn't even have to wear a t-shirt with a picture of babies playing musical instruments.

Special thanks to Lilaloa for her fantastic cookie cutter, which made the "Baby Boy" cookie. And thanks to SweetAmbs for her tutorial on tufted cookies, seen on the "Baby Boy" cookie. It's hard to see in the picture, but it looks like a checkerboard and makes the cookie a little bit puffy, in a good way.

Baby Fever

There must be something in the water because 3 of the 5 girls on my husband's side of the family are pregnant. Last weekend we had a double baby shower for 2 of Chris' cousins. Later, this summer we'll have a shower for my sister-in-law.

One of Chris' cousins is expecting a baby boy and the other cousin wanted to be surprised. So these baby cookies were a mix of blue, yellow, green and purple colors.
