Baking Cookies and a Visit with Maw

I found a package of toll house chocolate chips in the fridge last week and decided Wyatt and I should make cookies. I usually get the itch to bake cookies at Christmas time. There's something about the chill in the air and the smell of cookies that seems so cozy to me. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to go ahead and bake them now. Wyatt liked watching the mixer, playing with the measuring cups, and tasting the dough and cookies. YUM YUM!


Today we had a lunch date with Renee's mom at her house. Renee and I have been BFF's since 1992 and her mom has always been like a mom to me too. She used to do my laundry, feed me and buy me essentials when I was dirt poor and I love her for it! Anyway, she loves Wyatt like her own grandson and we decided to go for a visit. She made some yummy chicken salad sandwiches and cut up some very tasty fruit. Wyatt and I brought some of our soft and chewy toll house cookies to share. Renee had the day off and came for lunch too. We had alot of fun. Wyatt enjoyed exploring, playing, and reaking general havoc the entire day. Poor guy was so beat, he slept all the way home from Arlington. He NEVER sleeps on car trips these days. I'm pretty tired too. Our lunch date lasted into an all afternoon visit. It was GREAT FUN!
