cookie fest 2011

time for the annual miller cookie fest! and by "miller" i mean miller-childers-proctor-king, of course ;)

just for starters...


uncle jared and noah talking with aunt shari and cousin gabriella
as we have done for the last several years, we got together at my parent's house to bake some tasty christmas-time treats. on the menu this year? m&m cookies, snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, haystacks, puppy chow, sugared pecans and banana bread. despite the increasing number of grandchildren and all those tasty treats, we actually did a better job of starting on time and finishing up our baking before it got too late, which is especially nice with little people who have early bedtimes and several kiddos who had school early the next morning! we were actually able to finish everything before dinner! it was a great chance to get together, spend some time in the kitchen with my sisters and mom (which is what always makes it feel the most like the holidays) and let all the cousins and "brothers" get together (jared, ray and matt always enjoy some guy time while we're in the kitchen).
