it's cookie time!

that's right, the 2nd annual cookie party was held over here last saturday...and what a fun morning it was! we baked, we talked, we laughed all while our adorable children played peacefully around us. i bet you think i'm kidding, but honestly that's what happened. don't you know by now...our kids rule!

here are the highlights

the gals

let's get a closer look at those adorable outfits shall we?

(this is exactly what we dreamed of back at my kelly's kids party in july!)

now let's add brendy

and we could never leave out jack & johnny

how about a close-up of the precious petersons pair

can't forget about the smallest of the group! last year both lisa & meg were preg and we were saying how fun it will be to add two more kiddos to the party this year. little did we know that that this little gal would join in (or sleep through) all the fun too!!

let the baking begin...

molly caught sampling

ellie modeling those baby blues

still sampling

now some sprinkling

let's take a look back at these 3 one year ago...man, how they've grown

(and wow, how great is my new camera??)

look who made a surprise appearance this year!!

the 3-headed monster (and their moms) together again. kath wasn't quite sure how we went from going to happy hours together to baking cookies...but we still had fun! we are hoping this was the inaugural year for amy & her momma...you two better be back next year!!

could these two rugrats be any cuter? the johns, best pals already!!

and then there's these two besties.

as you can tell ryan is now a princess and brendy is really impressed.

another cookie party in the books. every year gets better and better. cannot wait until next year...i wonder what new additions we'll be welcoming?!?

(no, not from me...pa-lease...my baby is only 3 weeks old!!)
