Ok foodies! While not our usual Mexican and/or BBQ/Grilling faire, I know quite a few of us have a sweet-tooth.

So for OT session today the therapist thought we should make cookies for my birthday ~ lol. And while the tools were a bit lacking, we managed a small batch that were quite lovely. (No sifter on powdered sugar though).

Def adding this to my Christmas cookie list.

Here is the wonderful Kylee who went above and beyond as so many unsung medical professionals do on a daily basis!
I'm sorry I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere already but, are you saying today is your birthday?
 
By the way, my name is not Tim with 2 M's or Greg with 2 G's or Mothy. But it is Tim.
 
At a 5 yo birthday party!

Man... That party's been going on for 5 years? Are the hosts rich? How do they afford it and not have to go to work?
