Cookie Day 2009

Our annual "Cookie Day" was this past Saturday. It was held again at my aunt's house and most of my side of the family was able to make it to enjoy. I took my usual position next to the oven to "man my station". I had to make sure all the cookies were at the right temperature and baked for the right amount of time. Easy enough you may think until I tell you that there were always 3 cookie sheets baking at once. One oven fit one pan and the second oven was a convectional and would house two baking sheets of cookies. In between, I was tending to my own cookies to mix up and bake. I made 3 different kinds. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it! We thankfully had no fires in the oven this time. (Aunt A was not there with her snickerdoodles to cause that! Maybe next year!) Junior enjoyed decorating his gingerbread house and Gaga enjoyed my cousin's dog immensely. She would crawl around and follow her anywhere! We managed to take the two little guys out to get some fresh air and run around before eating dinner, a little more playtime and then the long trek back home with many cookies in tow. Thanks to my aunt for letting us invade and destroy her kitchen! Can't wait to do it all again!
