A Cookie Kind of Day

Emma (lucky girl) woke up from her nap today to the smell of some yummy, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
While she was sleeping - Riya and I had fun trying out a new recipe. It was great but it made a ton of dough! I had to switch to a bigger bowl before I even added the dry ingredients! I had enough dough to give Jay's teacher a dozen and take John (and his lab mates) two dozen - and we still had about 3 dozen left over already baked. We have enough cookie dough left over to eat bake at least 2 more dozen.

I wanted to capture the enjoyment in little Em's face but when she noticed I was trying to snap a picture, she did this.

I guess that about sums it up. :)

PS - I love thunderstorms... until the tornado sirens go off. YIKES! Scary! Growing up in Texas, there was often a threat of tornados - and it has been known to bring me to tears. I was brave today. :)
