Cookie Day


Cookie Day has come and gone. Eric and Katherine were unable to come for the event so Grandma, Grandpa, Ken, Rudy, Emme and I went to the lake to make Christmas cookies. We made sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, amaretto oatmeal cookies, and peanut butter blossoms. We worked hard and made many cookies for Christmas, to give away, and for the after Christmas dinner at the Barn. The cookies are fine, but the best part of the day was watching Emme interact with the Grandparents. Chet who often has difficulty remembering the most basic information never forgets Emme's name and he laughs out loud when Emme jumps on his lap and licks his nose. Grandma who has trouble with strength and balance, picks up all eight pounds of Emme and puts her on her lap and bends over to rub her head. Grandpa and Grandma just come alive around that puppy and Emme loves them back.

Emme has an appointment with the groomer this afternoon. She really needs it and we hope she will look better for Christmas. We can barely see her eyes right now. Time for a spiff-up.
