baking day's are back

Hello from Farmington :)
After leaving Boston early this morning, so my friend could make her 9-5, I'm spending the rest of my "weekend" at the rents house in the valley - with all three mcelroy daughters here and the littlest baby mac Braden. It's a wonderful thing. Grandma's birthday today too so she will be joining us for dinner. 


DMB was the best, there's really no much more to say, Allie and I walked to the most darling pub before the show to grab some blueberry beers :) the best as well. Not the same as it would have been if I had been able to make the Hartford shows here at home mem. weekend but still the best nonetheless. 


But, back to baking today! 
I made these cookies once last summer for a friend and am bringing them back once again :)
