While the pretzel bites were baking, We prepared the chocolate chip cookies :) They're one of our favorite goodies :) We added the ingredients into the bowl, Hunter loves to crack open the egg, and he hides the egg with flour in the bowl, and loves for Holly and i to try to find where he hid the egg! :) hehe! :) it's a fun treasure hunt/guessing game :) We taste tested the chocolate chips :) We super stirred all of the ingredients :) We were sharing lots of smiles :) my mom came out into the kitchen at times ,and you all are always right there with us in spirit, in the kitchen :) i used butter to grease the baking pan, and we made the cookie dough into round shapes :)

The Pretzel bites finished baking ,i brought them out of the oven, and i put the chocolate chip cookies into the oven to bake :) We did some cleaning in the kitchen, and i took a picture of the pretzel bites, and everyone began to dig in :) Holly and i each had one, the pretzel bites are delicious :) we were hanging out :) Talking about the upcoming championship sunday football games :) Mikey is a fan of the Chiefs and is looking forward to cheering for them :) The chocolate chip cookies finished baking :) i brought the cookies out of the oven to cool down :) the cookies came out great :)
