Wanda's Cookies

My mother-in-law, Wanda, is a very good cook and baker. Our tastes vary a bit, but she always has good food and over the last ten years I've known her, I've acquired several recipes from her that have become favorites.

This past Valentine's Day she made the cookies below and brought us some when they came for Molly's birthday party. Not only are the cookies quite tasty, but they are so pretty to look at! She does such a good job decorating them! I wish I could make my cookies look like this, but do not have the patience or the talent to do so. I'm so glad she shares her yummies with us so I can enjoy them! She always makes pretty cookies like this at Christmas and even made some for our wedding and Lucy's first birthday.

Lucy's Special Goldfish

Lucy always has goldfish as a snack at bedtime. She keeps them in a container on her headboard shelf and snacks on them after we put her to bed. Often times when we're downstairs (after putting her to bed) we will hear her yell down to us that she found a double goldfish or even a triple goldfish. Sometimes she is relentless in her yelling down to us and makes us come up to see her treasure. She does not eat these special goldfish, but keeps them in a pile on her headboard shelf. I just love her. :)

The BEST Selfie

I took this selfie last week at Molly's family birthday party. I think it's the best selfie ever! I've taken a selfie like this the last few years at both girls' parties, but this one by far tops all the others! It turned out so good!

Molly's Headphones

Lucy and Molly got headphones for Christmas to use when playing the iPad. They have been pretty good about wearing them and it's kind of nice to not hear everything they're watching...which is usually videos of other kids opening toys. :) Lucy uses headphones at school and knows how to plug them in and use them. Molly, on the other hand, is still working on the plugging in part. She often doesn't plug them in all the way and doesn't realize that she's not hearing the sound through the headphones, but rather through the iPad as if she didn't have headphones on. It's quite funny. You can watch, or rather listen, to her here. :)

Molly's Time Lapse Video

Molly likes to take my phone and watch videos on it and also record her own videos. One day when she was recording a video she accidentally had it on time lapse instead of regular video. It's such a funny video to watch and you can watch it here!
