I didn't go upstairs to the "man cave" to get pictures of the guys. I'm sure they would have been thrilled.
The theme of Robin's nursery and shower was airplanes. Her bedding is so cute and she is so creative and can make just about anything! If you'll remember, she's the one who makes the cookies that look like pieces of artwork and no one wants to eat them because they're so cute!
These are the cookies that Robin did for Erin's shower for Kinley! Aren't they cute? She should SOO start a bakery!

Recipe Time:
"Country Club" Punch
2 containers white grape juice
2 bottles of ginger ale (and then add a little more)
That's it!
-As for the ice ring, I put white grape juice in a bundt pan and then added lime, lemon, and star fruit slices and froze it.
I have gotten some compliments on this sugar cookie recipe. I took some to the Super Bowl party on Sunday and everyone liked them. They're easy to make and the dough is easy to cut out into shapes! I got this recipe on allrecipes.com
Smooth Sailing Sugar Cookies (I cut this recipe in half and it made about 14 cutouts) My WordPress is not letting me put spaces down here at the bottom for some reason. Sorry the sentences are so smashed together.

Your cookies look great, Mary Avery. And thanks for posting the recipe, I always love new recipes. From time to time I do something we call "cooking camp" with our kids here at the house. We started it last summer and they LOVE it. I will definitely try this cookie recipe out with them so they can make their own creations!
You are so right about joining a Sunday School class! Or any group within a church for that matter. It's such a great way to bond with people in your church. People who will love on you through every good time and bad time!
Your cookies look great! I love to cook, but I have a serious issues when it comes to baking! Nothing ever turns out quite like I dream it will.
Have a great weekend!
