A Day in the Life
It was a pretty quiet day in the Dickinson house yesterday. And quiet days happen to be my favorite! So we took the opportunity to try out a new cookie recipe ~ which turned out to be delicious, by the way ~ & to try out my new Kitchen Aid mixer! We made Banana Chocolate Chip Softies ~ quite possibly a new family favorite. So here are some pics from our afternoon of baking:
Peyton didn't bake. She colored instead.
Caleigh enjoyed the fruits of our labor. Our only disappointment was that after all the baking was over, then came the clean-up. And with the clean-up, we discovered that my Kitchen Aid mixer is broken :(
After Peyton got up from her nap, she got to enjoy her cookie & some snuggle time with Mommy.
Okay, so we aren't snuggling ~ but "This Is the Way the Ladies Ride" is her favorite game!!
