Cookin!

Over the past few weeks we have kept busy. We had a bunch of family in town for Aunt Toni's funeral. It was really sad- but we had a great time reconnecting with each other.

Over the past few days- Ella and I have had a lot of fun making cookies and perogies. Joe even made a bunch of cookies all by himself for his cookie exchange at work. Ella helped in every way possible. She is the only kid I know that will refuse to eat a cookie though- she is really just into the decorating.

We also got back into our old hat bin. Ella wasn't really into the bear hat-

But she was in love with this pink hat. She would wear it for a super long time and dance around the house in it. Its a little small but I told her she looked very pretty in it.

The biggest undertaking of the week was the homemade perogies.

We made 2 kinds- cheese and sauerkraut. We did it super old fashion because we didn't have the molds for the noodles- so just like in the old days- we had to use the lid to the sour cream- it really was the perfect size!

And as usual- Ella helped!
