Ice cream & Cookies

Ice cream

Chris' Mom shared with me a conversation she had with her Mom on Wednesday. {Gran has Alzheimer's}

Mom: Hey, Mom. I wanted to make sure you had enough groceries to make it through the ice storm that's on it's way. I can go to the store for you if you need me to.

Gran: Let me check.

Gran: No, we're good. We have plenty of ice cream.

Giggles.

Cookies

Eli had his first experience making chocolate chip cookies last night. He was SO excited. He can give a full roll call of all the ingredients and the mixing process. And, he loved using the Pampered Chef cookie scoop. And, cheering them on as they baked. And, serving them to his Daddy afterwards.

And, he proceeded to call lots of family to share his happiness of baking!

UPDATE: Here's Eli's recap last night: "we put brown sugar, flour, chocolate chips in it, scooped it out on a pan, and put it in the bank." If only that's the way it all worked...

It's the simple things that bring joy. Like ice cream and cookies!
