You Can Have a Cookie and Eat It Too {Life in my House}

We had a VERY adventurous weekend.  You can read about it HERE.

The highlight of the whole week, though, happened yesterday... when we least expected it.

Yesterday I heard giggles in our kitchen.  I listened intently to find out what was going on.  Turned out that my niece and nephew came over—their little aprons in hand—ready to bake cookies… if they could find someone willing to do so. Uncle Demetrye, of course! The man has his own recipe and they love him to shreds.

He simply could not resist them—he donned his Home Depot apron on and off they were to bake chocolate chip cookies. I grabbed my point and shoot to eternalize those precious moments.



And here is the final product:


Looks good, doesn’t it?! We got to eat it while, after talking uncle Demetrye into more mischief, we played the Mexican Train.

Every moment we have is a gift.  Our families and friends are the reason we have such moments altogether. Why else would God so graciously give them to us? To mess our perfect plans, of course; to show up when we least expect them and while doing that create the most unforgettable moments.
Now, go capture yours! And treasure them too.
