Cookies!!!!

Well...not cookies for dinner..although Nicholas did ask for that tonight. 
First, Dinner.  Last night we met some awesome friends, Jen and Chris, for dinner.  I grew up with Chris and we spent just about every day of the summer together at the pool.  We met at Maggiano's, one of my favorite restaurants.  Normally, I'd say Maggiano's is way too expensive.  However, they have this AWESOME deal going on right now.  You get one pasta dish to eat while you are there and then they pack one up for you to go.  All for $12.95!!!!!  How can you beat that!!!  So last night I had Eggplant Parmesan...my FAV!!!  I brought home ravioli for dinner tonight.  Jim had baked ziti last night and gnocchi tonight. 
Tonight began my baking frenzy.  This year I'm keeping it a little simpler, but still making some really awesome cookies.  Tonight I made Peanut Butter Blossoms and Raspberry Almond Thumbprints (one of my and many others favorites).  Tomorrow I'll make two more cookies including a new one.  You'll have to check back tomorrow to find out exactly what I make. 
If you want the recipes let me know and I'll get them to you. 
Making cookies is one of my favorite things about the holiday season.  My house smells so yummy right now.  The hard part is trying not to eat too many of the cookies.  I'm not promising anything!!!  :)
