Baking cookies....

Sydney sampling the chocolate chips before they were stirred in the dough....YUM!!

"Yum! I need more cookies, mommy!"
Daddy brought home this pheasant hat for me....funny!!
Brrr...it was cold this weekend. Saturday was the JDRF walk at the MOA. My company is one of the sponsors so the whole company comes together to help raise money. This year we had over 270 walkers. I was able to raise $395....$95 more than last year...yeah! Jim and Sydney were suppose to join Christy and I this year, but with it being so cold and Sydney having a cold, we decided it was best they stay home...maybe next year they can join us. Christy and I braved the cold and joined thousands of people for the walk. We had a great time...and after the walk was over we continued to walk while we shopped. We figure since we are already there, we might as well get some shopping in at the MOA since that is about the only time we will go there during the year. Sunday, I spent the day at home with Sydney while Jim went to the Pheasants Forever thing in St. Paul. With it being so cold out, I thought it would be fun to bake cookies with Sydney, for the first time...and fun it was. She loves chocolate...she is definitely my child. haha! She wasn't to sure what to think about the mixer...but had fun helping me pour in stuff and stir in the oatmeal and chocolate chips. And she of course loved eating the chocolate chips and helping eat the cookies when they came out of the oven. YUM YUM!! We will definitely be doing a little more baking as she gets older... :)
