Who doesn't love a good sugar cookie? I like mine soft and chewy with a light but super yummy frosting. I had all these great plans. #1 I was going to call up my roommate Courtney. Her mom has a BOMB! recipe for sugar cookies, but the dough has to be refrigerated so I would have needed a little more time for that option. So then Plan B was to turn to good ol' Pinterest. I had previously pinned a scrumptious looking recipe for sugar cookies (that did not require refrigeration) and I thought I would just try that out. An unexpected trip to the doctor's took up all of my baking time. Stupid. So we had to resort to Plan C (for cookies! ha) I sent my wonderful father to Wally World to pick up some Granny B's Sugar Cookies - you know? The ones that are circle shaped with perfect bubblegum pink frosting and in almost every vending machine for $1. Yup...those ones! haha. As we waited we decided to have a photo shoot. If you know my family you know that my brother Nathan and I don't necessarily look like we belong. As the two brunette children we seem a little too abnormal (ironically) in the midst of the 4 flaming red headed siblings. Just a few weeks ago I went on a trip with my mother and sister to Utah for my roommate's wedding. Everywhere, and I'm not exaggerating, we went (including gas station restrooms) people would stop and stare at my gorgeous sister. They would ask my mom if she was proud to have such a beautiful red headed daughter. They would comment that if they could have anything in the world they would have red hair. They admitted that they would pay all the money in the world to get hair like that. Oh geez. In the midst of these comments they would shoot a pitiful glance in my direction. It was a big self esteem boost! Let me tell you. But that was a big side note. So back to the real story. My brother Nathan and I decided to have our own little "black head" (probably not the most flattering term) photo shoot. We got our dog Molly and starting just goofing off. Well at 10 o'clock at night with two crazy kids and a tired dog this is what you get.
My most flattering photos? Nope. Do I care? Not at all. This was SO fun. We especially got a kick out of Molly's face in the second photo. HAHA. oh man. It was just one of those hilarious yet VERY quirky family moments. We were laughing SO hard. What else is worth living for? Ah man. Good times. Then, we finally got our sugar cookies.
MMM. Well, I might have to redeem myself and make some homemade ones later this week. Stay tuned for some more good holidays. Today (since I am writing this post a day late) is Teddy Bear Picnic Day and Pina Colada day! Enjoy!
(:
