Successful 2009

Well - it's over (in theory) for another year.
First time in years we've held it at Connie's house - she has a great oven & a much bigger kitchen.
Strange & I got there about 5:30 & we went for Mexican for dinner. Quick trip to the store for some last minute stuff (lunchmeat for Saturday) and back to the house in time for Cari, Kaitlin, Emme & Marty to arrive.
We took some time to organize ingredients - then started up on the refrigerator doughs - getting them ready for baking day.
By the time we stopped around Midnite - we had about 12 types ready to go.
1. Key Lime Cookies - Strange
2. Princess Crown Cookies (pink princess pigs) Emme / Strange
3. Hungarian Kiefles - dough-Boug / bake - Connie
4. Chocolate cookie slices

and finally, on Sunday - after breakfast out at Egg & I -

35. S'More Bars - Boug

Cleaned up the kitchen in the morning, then packed cookies into containers & headed back north.
We still have snow on the ground, but down south - it had mostly melted away.
