you're one ugly whale!

Sassy (my mom) threw a swim party for Connor (my nephew) and the other 2 year olds from his gymnastics class. We do not need to talk about how many other kids showed up to the party, because even if it was just us, we had fun! So anyway, sister and I made some summer fun cookies to bring to said party. We weren't sure what to bake, but luckily my bestest non sister friend Natalie gave me some super cute summer cookie cutters a few years ago so we used those.

Sadly, one batch of cookies did not stay in the oven quite long enough and the cookies were too soft to hold the icing. The tale and the spout fell off of one whale so in frustration I announced that it was one ugly whale, which Sister thought was a rude thing to say to her ;) The rest of the cookies were not in fact ugly and were quite cute. So without further adieu I introduce:

Whaley (you're one cute whale!)

Tree-y (which is actually quite small, but because of my cropping looks the same size as the other cookies)

Sandy (made by covering the cookies in white royal icing and then dusting them with vanilla wafers that we ran through the food processor. YUMMY)

Octy

Flippy

And Crabby (who was super cute covered in red sanding sugar)
