And the winner is...

I've poured through pinterest & the web to find an easy, delicious, festive cookie recipe for the teachers at Benjamin's school. Next week, 65 parents are bringing in 3 dozen cookies each. The coordinators will divide & box them up so each teacher can take home a boxful of cookies for the holidays. I love the idea! Since I'm working some next week as well as starting on our painting project, I wanted something quick. These bars are amazing. (disclaimer - I've never bought the Cranberry Bliss Bars from Starsbucks although they look tempting. So, I can't compare.) My taste testers, adult & child alike, loved this recipe that I'm sharing.

Trevin - has changed so much lately.  I need to do a post specifically on him.  He loves our Thomas the Train table and has quite an imagination while the trains zoom down the track.
