Cookie Exchange

In light of recent events, I've decieded to do as much fun stuff as I can until I start my chemo treatments in January. We've gone to the Santa Clause Parade, we took the girls to a Christmas party and got their photo taken with Santa, I'm having a tea party next week and we'll soon be visiting the in laws new puppy!! Aww!

On schedule for today was a cookie exchange. After I got my results yesterday, Wayne and I were in a whole different world. The only thing that seemed to matter was the fact that the cancer hadn't spread. Because of that, I forgot to buy my ingredients for the 6 dozen cookies I had to make.

Today at noon I remembered all the baking that needed to be done but I had nothing in the cupboards to make anything. I called Wayne at work and of course, he came to the rescue. I texted him my grocery list and he bought everything for me on my lunch break.

By 2pm I was baking up a storm and trying to calm Annabelle and making sure Brooklyn stayed sleeping through the whole commotion. It was a hectic day and far less fun than I had hoped. When I had made the arrangements for the cookie exchange I didn't realize I was going to be sans grandma all day and I had also planned on baking ahead of time.

The recipe ended up being super delicious which I got from Allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Big-Batch-Kris-Kringle-Cookies/Detail.aspx) and by the time i sorted all the cookies out there were only 4 left for us. I plan on making some more tomorrow night. The cookies I picked up (6 dozen different cookies) were delicious. I just stuck them in my freezer now so that they will still be good for Christmas! Yum! :)
