After-Action Report
Ahh, yes, the annual Cookie party has come and gone. For those of you that missed it, here are some highlights. The Grand Prize this year was awareded to a cooperative venture between Heather Swier and Jen Hendrie, for the classic-Christmas stocking scene pictured below:
Another joint venture, entitled "Tulip Time '06" created by Jason Kool and yours truly also merited a ribbon and a pack of skittles. See picture below:
Unrecognized by the ever inscrutable Bob LaBarge, but a clear crowd favorite was Matt and Jay's submission of a Liger. The following photo speaks for itself:
Missy did an outstanding job hosting, and a great time was had by all. A special welcome to Missy's cousins Holly and Kristin, and their husbands.

We missed all y'all, even though we had a great time (I hope)!! It was definitely the smallest cookie party in a while-- especially after the Christmas binder from last year. In fact, I'm still recovering from that one.

Missy, It sure looks like everyone had fun! Thanks for sharing! (p.s. what is a liger? and is it pronounced like "leeger" or more like "tiger"? -- just wondering.)

I have to admit, the cookie making may be above my caliber, there are no longer single cookies but entire themes, it's amazing. Thanks for posting those Jared. Flot, rent Napoleon Dynamite to find out what a liger is.

Napoleon Dynamite, huh? Guess I missed that one... maybe we can catch that flick over Christmas. Thanks for the tip, Lara! :)

Great cookies. I approve, especially of the liger. And yes, Rachel, I think a watching of Napolean Dynamite is in order. But, be prepared it is a classic my principal did not deem classroom worthy.

My brother Jeff bought Napolean Dynamite for my other brother Evan and my extended family ended up watching it on Christmas night. I didn't like it at first, but now on my 7th viewing I find it gets funnier and funnier. My dad was laughing, though he lamented afterward the male anti-hero that is glorified by our generation and leading our young men astray. However he consented that it is encouraging to see Napoleon living from his center and overcoming in the end.

I totally thought Napolean Dynamite was so stupid the first time I watched it (alone- last December 23rd as I was making 2 coffee cakes for Christmas morning). Then I watched it again. Then I watched it again. Now- it's frickn' hilarious. Why?

I love how your dad said that Napolean was living from his center. Has he been reading contemplative stuff?
