I'm mesmerized

Did you know it was teacher appreciation week this week? If you didn't already know, wouldn't it have been nice for me to let you know on Monday?? Yeah, well sorry ;) I don't have human children so I don't keep up with teacher-y things but my sister has the cutest 2 and a half year old on the planet and he has 2 pre-school teachers who needed some appreciating this week.

Before I let you see how we appreciated the teachers, I think its important to note, that my sister is older than me, but she did NOT, in fact, invent cookies. According to our mother though, it is entirely possible though that I DID invent cookies. I think this blogging thing has gone on too long without giving my sister some credit. We really did start making cookies together, and I seem to recall her being WAY better at it than I was when we started. I think I've at least caught up at this point but honestly while our techniques might be moderately different, our skill levels are pretty even. "Flour Blossoms" was really OUR creation together, and the only reason she doesn't make more cookies with me is that she has the aforementioned 2.5 year old son, and the cutest, chubbiest, smartest 10 month old daughter on the planet. PLUS shes a professor at A&M. So I guess you could say shes "kinda" busy. Even though she didn't invent cookies, shes my bestest friend in the whole wide world, and making cookies is 1000x more fun when we do it together.

And NOW on to the cookies, which really have me mesmerized. We baked these guys at my house, but decorated them at her house and she made the red icing with her powdered color. They are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Like seriously I'm in love, and I can't wait for Christmas so I have an excuse to use my red powdered color!!!
