Some Holiday Cheer...(and more Cookies!)

Thank goodness I've been so busy getting ready for the holidays and running around nonstop. Otherwise I might have gained at least 15 pounds already! I'm on a very strict diet...cookies, cookies, cookies! I can't help it...I love them. All of these cookie exchanges...and who else is going to eat them, right? Anyways, my breakfast today consisted of a cookie (or maybe two...), a few for lunch (who's counting?) ...and 1 before dinner. Very healthy, don't you think? Not that I need more cookies...but my girlfriends and I usually have a marathon bake off together and each make at least 3 different types of cookies each and then share everything we've made. This year was the first time in a few years that the baking together part didn't happen...but we got together tonight to catch up and share our goodies. Tana brought yummy white chocolate chip cookies...and Erin made Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies...which is one of my favorites! I made dinner for the girls, who were sweet enough to come all the way over after busy days at work. Chloe wanted to stay up to see Miss Tana and Miss Erin. She played the piano for them...and then let each of them hold her for awhile. Here's some pics from our evening! Oh...and no more cookies for me today. The kitchen is officially off limits! Erin, my Chi-O sorority sister from Tulane, and little Chloe. Tana, Erin, & Chloe Erin's baby...Boudreaux. Bou is the Doggie who likes to Bloggie.
