Cookie Party!

Last week I decided that Suzy needed to have some friends over one afternoon. She doesn't like to play by herself and I run out of ideas that make her happy. One thing that I know she loves is anything related to baking, which led to my idea of a cookie decorating party! I told her my idea and she was pumped. I got in touch with Christa, Rebecca, and Mrs. Sharon and arranged for their sweet kiddos to come over Tuesday. Mimi and I teamed up and gathered all the needed supplies: sprinkles, icing, cookies, and candies. Tuesday rolled around and we were all set to see Adi, Evie, and Emma Cate. 

Everything was set up and ready to go! 

This is sweet Emma Cate. She is a doll. 

These are some of Adi's perfect cookies. Christa joined us for a little while, so she helped Adi while she was with us. Adi got a little more wild after Mama had to go back to work. 

She looks so much like her mama that it is scary! Christa and I grew up together. Our dads worked together. I still remember going to stay at her house when I was younger. Her mom would always do our fingernails. I thought getting my nails done was amazing. Not much has changed :) Glad our babies are growing up together! 

Our sweet summertime friend, Evie. She helped break my Sue out of her shell this summer. We love Evie Allison. 

Notice the pile of orange and pink sprinkles.... That is what Adi's cookies looked like when her mama left. Yes, there are cookies under those piles of sprinkles! 

Some of their creations. You can tell which ones Laurie did!!!
Suzy did all the ones that have icing running off the sides. She was a large fan of the bagged icing. 

Proof that those are truly Adi's cookies.....

Laurie was helping Evie make a cookie for her mama, Rebecca. 

Cookie decorating takes lots of tongue sticking out concentration! 

Emma Cate took a break to raid Suzy's playroom!

She had her Tervis in case she got thirsty while searching for the perfect toy!

They eventually asked for spoons... The needed to try the icing, of course! 

Emma Cate and Adi

The cookies on the red and green plates in the back are Adi's.... Notice pattern here? 

What was left over! 

sprinkles covered every square inch of my house!!

These sweet girls had a ball! 

I am so glad that we decided to go through with this little play date. The girls finished up their cookies and had pizza for lunch. They followed up lunch with lots of playing and giggling. They were so much fun!!! I think we need to make it a yearly tradition! I am thankful that Laurie was there to help me, too. Whew, I don't know if I could have done it alone!
