This was my first attempt at using fondant.  There is definitely room for improvement, but not to shabby for a first try:)

Now that he is 11 he is officially a Boy Scout.  Even better, Chris is one of the leaders!

Somebody loves us, and cookie Friday

As a "good job for making it through the first week of school" I decided to start a cookie Friday tradition.  Pretty much exactly what it sounds like...we have cookies on Fridays:)  It's been a fun tradition so far and gives me a reason to try all those Pinterest recipes I have.  Also we got a sweet surprise from our super special cousins!

Don't let Kaylee's face fool you, she's pretty much loving this new tradition
