Since Dad kindly posted a couple pictures from the cookie party we had last week, I thought I ought to tell the story that goes with them. My freshman year I was very sad that I would be missing out on decorating holiday sugar cookies (a fine tradition in the California Harris household) so Mom offered to send me some along with some homemade icing and decorating supplies for my roommates, friends and me to decorate ourselves. We of course made a fine time of it that year and the tradition of Kyla's Holiday Cookie Decorating Party has continued, this year being our 3rd annual. The cookies of course are non-denominational (wouldn't want to offend anybody), but usually run on a wintery theme. This year Mom got creative and at my request included a number of animal shapes including horses, frogs and monkeys (or squirrels, depending on who decorated them). My friends and I had a wonderful time decorating and then stuffing ourselves with cookies (as we always do). The plate of cookies shows the remnants of the decorated cookies that were left at the end. Unfortunately for us all, we now have to find time to go to the gym to work those cookies off and time to study for and take finals!
