So they were calling for more
sleet and freezing rain,
so I decided that if
"iced in"
was how it was going to be,
why not be at Grandma's house
when the ice came.
So I mixed up a batch of sugar cookies,
grabbed some
gel food coloring
cookie cutters
decorator bags
a few necessities
and my kiddos
and off we went,
to spend the night with Grandma.
Last week during another
"iced in" day
I made sugar cookies,
and I was sold on everything about them.
The recipes from sweet Pam
over at CookieCrazie
were perfect.
And she had so many helpful
hints on her blog.
But I had a moment of
uh-oh,
this could quickly become a
favorite past time,
and having the sweet tooth
that I do...
...well its not the healthiest past time.
After a good nights sleep in my
old childhood bed,
and breakfast with Grandma,
we started the cookie rolling,
icing making, cookie cutting and baking.
Then a little break to watch the birds eating the berries off the tree.

What a fun day! Nothing better than a day at Grandma's house! I love the little penguins-what a clever idea. I used to love watching the birds at my parents house too. Oh, and you're kids are very creative! :)
