Man, WHAT a COOKIE!

For Zach's birthday yesterday I decided to bake him a GIANT cookie rather than a birthday cake. Oh, MY, he was SOOOO HAPPY! This is a picture BEFORE he awoke and found it. (I measured it, it was a foot across in one direction and 14" in another... not EXACTLY a perfect circle, but hey, this was the first one I've made in 8 years or so.. hehe) Oh, and overlook my bad handwriting.. It was EARLY, well, truthfully, I probably couldn't done any better even if it WASN'T! HA!!!





I put it in the dining room because the kitchen was a mess just so I could make pictures of him when he first saw it. (You know, I had FULL intention of sharing these pics with you and I'd NEVER let you see my kitchen in such a shape) ha!! Speaking of... pay no attention to that thick rim of dust on the back of that chair... it's all I can do to keep all the other "stuff" picked up behind my guys... dusting is one chore that I let go a little too often. O:-)



Here comes the birthday boy.... (It's a little blurry, but that's the first shot I got of him when he saw his "happy."






See, I'm not just "smiley happy" online, I "doodle" them EVERYWHERE! (I'm making reference to my overuse of emoticons)

This one was made after they'd torn into it... You can see they found my "icing" bowl. =-)




Oh, and Zach FINALLY got his cast off yesterday! I made pictures of that too, but don't have them loaded yet. (I made them on a different camera) I'll share those tomorrow (hopefully) and also some from Sunday. Our little church met at the Noxubee Refuge.. we saw LOTS of wildlife! (Even an ALLIGATOR!)

Thanks so much for stopping by..
HAVE A BLESSED DAY,

how did you make such a huge cookie? did you just use a regular cookie mix or did you have to do anything special?

what a great idea for something different!!!

Melanie said...

I love the picture of him with his mouth full but you can see the smile in his eyes. So sweet, and the cookie too!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did good momma. Who wants a perfect circle anyway, or perfect writing.

We would've NEVER noticed the dust had you not said. I can bearly see it even after mentioning it.

There's bigger fish to fry and eat, anyway.
Love,
