Usually I'm a little hesitant to do black and white photos on cookies. What can I say, I'm just a bright color kind of girl. These cookies, however, turned out AdoRaBLe!
They were favors given at a fundraiser dinner, and were placed at each person's place setting. The table was decorated with black, white, and lime, so these cookies complimented those colors perfectly.
I had the privilege recently of doing the dessert table for the talent show & silent auction at my daughter's school. Cookies, brownies, and cake pops were the order of the night.
A big tray of cookies is always popular.
The cake pops, though, proved to be worthy competition.
Our now-famous sea salt brownies made an appearance too.
However, as soon as intermission was announced, everyone descended on the dessert table. I think I maybe had time to say, "Hi, yes, these are all from Kookie Krums," and woosh! Everything was gone. Sixty seconds is probably being generous! What fun to see so many people in one place enjoying our delicious treats!
And so fun to watch my six year old march confidently up on the stage and sing her heart out. I love her.
This tooth has been loose since October. I kid you not. Apparently my child has the strongest gums ever. We have been actively trying to get it out over the past week. Hailey's adult tooth has already grown in behind this one, so it wasn't pushing it out any further. At long last . . . Sunday morning, it came out. Thank goodness, I thought she was going to go to prom with that tooth dangling.
We put the tooth in a little star shaped box for safe keeping during the day, until she could put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.
When it was time for bed, Hailey put the box under her pillow pet, then laid right down to make sure it didn't go anywhere.
We told her that the tooth fairy would do something special with her water bottle to let Hailey know she'd been there, and give her a peek of her magic. She "hid" her water bottle amongst all her friends in bed with her, just to make things tough for the tooth fairy. Little did she know, you can't out-wit the tooth fairy.
Just as we promised, the tooth fairy came, trading the tooth in the star shaped box for a five dollar bill. And her water . . . well, the tooth fairy turned that into sparkly water with her magic little self.
The bottle says: "Congratulations! You've lost your first tooth! I flew in tonight, while you slept tight; and turned your water to sparkling jewels, it's a must you know, it's in the rules; now look for a surprise under your pillow pet, you'll be able to use this for something special I bet! Special wishes to you, princess, love, the tooth fairy."
My sweet girl was so excited, it was precious. She's still insisting she heard the tooth fairy in her sleep, but I don't think so!
