Bake Day 2009

This year we decided to have a "Bake Day" at my mom's house. We all brought our cookie dough to share and make up several cookie trays for Christmas. It was so much fun!

Poppy got to sit in the middle of all the action and watch Granny while Bubsie made a train depot underneath the table.

Poppy was really wanting some cookies!

                         This one looks good.....                                          ...but these look good too!

Poor Poppy!

But she was still happy!

 Mick, Kristen, and mom baking away!

 

 Kristen and Ezra took some time out to cuddle...

...and so did Granny and Pops.

You better keep an eye on those cookies Mick-Thomas is a sneaky one!!!!

I scooped and Kristen balled-we made quite a comical assembly line!

 

Dancing makes the cookie bake faster!

They wore themselves out and had to take a breather...

But Mick was a trooper and kept on going!

 Mom inspected to make sure things were exactly to Santa's specifications.

 Lookin' good!

The boys were SO EXCITED and could hardly wait! Ha!

The finished product! Not too bad for a days work! :)

Happy Christmas Baking!

I heart the Ozarks

We had a WONDERFUL weekend! Friday night started with a birthday party for my Grandma. Saturday I got to sleep in -THAT'S HUGE!- and then Caleb decided we should go visit our favorite place...ARKANSAS! He has been working every weekend lately and we had been wanting to go, so we took advantage of this time off and headed out for a day trip! I didn't really think to bring my camera, and there wouldn't have even been these pictures if he hadn't taken them with his phone. He told me I needed them for my blog! Ha ha! So here we are at THE BEST restaurant EVER!  AH, AQ Chicken...why must you be two hours away?

Is it any coincidence that we just happen to come on the all you can eat night??? I think not. (That's every Saturday night in case you were wondering...and yes I do know their specials for every night even though they are located 4 counties away) We got the usual "chicken over the coals" and it was as good as ever. They bring you all you can eat of chicken AND sides...how YUMMY!!! So here is Caleb enjoying maybe his second plate and Poppy REALLLLY wishing she had teeth!

Ezra likes AQ too! He recommends the cinnamon apples and sweet potato casserole...a good southern boy in the making!

They were playing some really good music and Pops just couldn't help herself- she was just a dancing machine!

AQ Chicken = A Happy Family!

Bye Bye AQ!!! We will miss you! If you stop by soon look for Ezra's signature in the book! And don't worry, we brought plenty leftovers back home to enjoy today at lunch :)
