This year's theme was a Valentine's Day one, where we had the baking challenge of incorporating a candy into our creations. As always, all the cookies & bars were delish!
Here are some of the gals that were in attendance:
I like to refer to us as the "usual suspects", but in a good way! There were Chris and her daughter Danielle, Myself in the purple, Sheri, Cathy & Crissta. Other gals that were there were Vince's mom and his daughter Cris and Gen, a bowling buddy Kelly, Sheri's mom Shirley. My friends brought their baby & toddler daughters to top it off: Ines, Keira & Vivien.
Let's show the cookies (I mean, isn't that what this was all about anyway?!):

My favorite was Crissta's Triple Chocolate Cookies. The most creative were Gen's Candy Sushi. She spent hours working on them, making rolls out of Rice Krispie mix.
The girls played so well together. They were a bit hopped up on all the sugar, but, hopefully they fell asleep in the car. I know I was ready for a nap after the party.
If anyone is interested in the recipe's to these cookies, let me know, I will email them to you.
Any ideas for next year's theme??
