Birthday Trial Run and Fun with Maddi

Last week when we were at Disneyland I got a text message from my friend Nicole that she picked up a few things she thought would be cute for Rylee's birthday party, such a good friend! We were going to do sugar cookies for Rylee's party because she doesn't like cake, and Nicole found a really cute cookie pan for us to make them versus buying them. She also picked up monkey sucker molds, which are perfect because the party is at her gym where a monkey is the logo, so we are doing a monkey theme! She showed me what she had picked up the other day and I loved it, so I went and got a few more sucker molds and the candy melts. Today we got together to practice the cookies and the suckers to make sure we were going to be able to make them look cute, and we were pretty sure we did a great job! The cookies taste great and the suckers look so cool. We are going to frost the cookies and serve them with a monkey cake, and then the suckers are going to be part of the party favors.
While we were baking the girls were playing and pestering each other a little bit. They both started to get sleepy after lunch so the snuggled up and watched Cinderella for all of 5 minutes, and then they were off running around again! We are so lucky to have such good friends that both of us get along with :)!
