Decorating Cookies

I used this recipe for the dough and this recipe for the frosting. Both ones I would use again.

 These two helped me cut out cookies.  Aaron was in his cage pack n play and Joel was at white Grandpa and Grandma's for an impromptu sleepover.

Some of the finished product and cups waiting for hot chocolate.

Andrew's missing a few of those pearly whites.  

Noah and Jayden had fun with frosting and sprinkles.  The cookies had a definite crunch to them.

When Joel got the frosting on the cookies, he did a pretty good job.  But I think more frosting and candy went into his mouth than on the cookies.

Last zoo visit of 2011

 Next Saturday is the last day the zoo is open for 2011 so we went one last time this morning with Kaiya and Jayden.  We've already used our pass a ton this season and it doesn't expire until July.  They boys still like to go even though we've gone a bunch of times and its fun to be able to bring friends. 

Bears were pretty frisky today.  The grizzly was pounding at the door.  Hope he didn't want to get out!

Kids in front of the bears.  We made them stay and watch them for a bit.

Happy boy ! zoo

This guy was pretty funny.  He kept sticking his tongue out at us.  We called him Gramps.

This spider monkey looks to be heavily encumbered with child.

Playground to ourselves, yahoo!

I think they're all actually looking at the camera.
