Resolved?

We are easing back into a routine after a delightful Winter's break.  Ava started back to school today, a federal holiday (and what has to be a major foul on the part of someone at the Des Moines Public Schools) so John worked a short day while she was at school.  Amelia and I saw Grandma Marilyn off and spent the day grocery shopping, having lunch and generally puttering around the house. 

Amelia asked to make my favorite cookies, peanut butter blossoms.  I am hardly immune from the New Year's resolutions to eat better.  Mostly because I feel like I spent much of the month of December on a no-carb-left-behind tour.  But Amelia protested saying "we always make cookies when we are home together!"  And she's right, we do. So we made cookies...

Peeling the wrappers...


"Mom, I organized all the chocolates!"


Final touch!
