We haven't been able to do our decorating cookie tradition with friends since we moved but this valentines I made it happen. I contacted three girls in Rebekah's ward and found a date that worked for everyone. Usually it's just a one friend gig but since we are new and wanted to get to know many girls we went big.
While Rebekah was at school I got everything set up so after school Rebekah and I only had a few things to do. The girls came over a few minutes later and the decorating began.
Took some individual pictures as well.
One of the girls made a smily cookie. Love it.
When it came time for Rebekah's picture....
She wanted to taste test right away.
After they finished they went to play while I cleaned up piles of sprinkles. So many sprinkles. Parents came somewhat later and the girls took home their creations. Operation cookie decorate / make memories with new friends was a success.
After the girls left Rebekah was sad. However, Walmart saved the day by sending a text with the information her furreal kitty friend was ready for pick up. Rebekah has been saving her quarters until she had enough for this little gem. It took a long time and once she finally had the money I had to order it rather than just picking it up at the store. So when the text came in it totally turned around the mood. We promptly dropped everything and went to pick it up. It started meowing in the box which only served to make Rebekah more excited. Once we were home we got said kitty out to introduce her to her new owner and new home.
What a perfect way to end the Valentine's season.
