C is for Cookies

I love that Natalie and Rebecca have been having so much fun in the kitchen making cookies for various occasions. They have become very good at the new talent.

Upon our last return from Honolulu we had a BBQ as a family and they had made these cookies in honor of us.

The pineapple and palm trees were so cute.
And then for a baby shower for Jessica these were made for the little girl.
