Martha, you help us make good cookies!

Ok, so just as I predicted, the sleepover was so very much fun. Contrary to popular belief, we did not have tickle fights in our underwear, or talk about boys. We did, however, eat lots of sugary things, watch a tween movie and stay up late. It was great. Ann Marie and Johanna came over for a bit on Friday night, and we just had fun being girls. It was great!

Saturday morning, we slept in a bit, and then Lisa came over for some much needed bonding over brunch time. (Brunch feast = caramel cinnamon buns, bacon, omelet, cantalope...mmm...) It was great because the whole situation was kinda thus: Rachel calls Lisa says come eat breakfast; Lisa says she'd eaten already but will come for coffee; Lisa comes and eats full serving of food. Ha!

After we cleaned up the breakfast stuff, we just kinda lazed around and then embarked on a new adventure - making sugar cookies using Rachel's amazing KitchenAid mixer and a recipe from Martha Stewart. With this dynamic duo, we were bound to succeed, especially seeing as the recipe involved adding brandy or cognac to the dough - we didn't have either, so we got adventurous and added Disaronno. Mmm...Oh, and we also iced the cookies with Easter coloured royal icing. It was a blast - think arts and crafts meet cookie making. It was priceless.

All in all, it was a great sleepover/lazy Saturday (seeing as I didn't get home until 6:30!) Wow.

Love you girls.

'Twas indeed a lot of fun. Thanks for coming! I think I'll add a little bit more amaretto next time around - the hint of almond was awesome!
