Memorial Day

Celebrating your 4th decade

Bundles of Babies

Onesies

I made cookie favors for the double baby shower as well as putting some cookies on a platter. I wanted the shower guests to be able to eat cookies at the shower and take cookies home.

Pitter Patter of Little Feet

The day before I made these cookies, I was helping in the church nursery. Once a month, Chris and I help with the toddlers (ie very busy rough little boys). One this particular day I lucked out and got to hold one of the newborns, Baby Evelyn. Evelyn's brother Nate (Chris' lovingly refers to him as the nursery bruiser) is one of our regulars and he's quite a character. Nate's about 2 and uses sounds instead of words when he talks, for example "choo choo" instead of train. Anyway back to the bright and shiny newborn, I rocked Evelyn while Nate tried to climb on my lap. This little baby girl is going to have to toughen up quick to keep up with her big brother. She had the tiniest pink feet and they inspired these baby feet cookies.

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.

More Penguin Poses

These are the same penguin cookies, but we were trying to be creative about staging them.

This silver platter was a gift from our wedding. It's from Wendell August, a store that makes amazing handcrafted metal gifts.

The groom taking his role as cake tester very seriously.

The bride wondering how she's going to fit into that tiny gown. Might have to hit the penguin gym a little harder.
