Merrit is 12!






These are the yummy "monster cookies" I made for Merrit's class today to celebrate his birthday. I wasn't planning on doing treats this year, but on the way out the door this morning for the bus Chelsea said to me, "So Mom, are you going to bring Merrit's treat up later?" I knew then that I'd be in trouble if I didn't. So I scrambled to fit it in. It was interesting to fit it in because I hadn't planned to in the first place, but it all worked out in the end.

I can't believe I have an almost-deacon in my house now (as soon as he's ordained next weekend). He's such a good kid. I'm so blessed to be his mom. Love you Merrit!

Yea Merrit! I guess that makes you an official pre-teen. See you next week.

Those are pretty sweet cookies. In both senses.

Yeah, Kurt, I was told they were pretty delicious, but I didn't actually get to eat one. :(

Jana said...

Wow, you made those on the fly? You ARE an awesome mom!

I could only do this because I got the idea from the Meijer bakery. They had some, of course their decorations were all frosting. I'm not that good with frosting, but I can use candy. I'm not bad at taking other people's ideas and tweeking them. I'm not very good at coming up with original ideas myself.
