Cookies!

Today I wanted to do something fun with Ethan since it seems like we don't do a whole lot of that these days. Connor ALWAYS wants to be held and it makes it a little difficult to do things with Ethan, but today Connor decided to sleep for a decent length of time (30 minutes, and that's good for him).

We decided to make Daddy's favorite cookies and Ethan had so much fun!

Daddy got home just in time!

Anytime I make these cookies people always ask me for the recipe but I have yet to give it to anyone. So if you are interested here is the recipe.
