Can those of you who attended the cookie exchange please post pictures any awards results...pretty please???
Re: Please post!!
Thank you ladies so much. I'm happy about the "best offspring stories" award but "best working mom"?!?! I am floored and honored beyond words that I won that one. Seriously there are just so many amazing moms here, all of whom give so much of themselves to their kids and I don't know how I came to the top of that group becuase I feel so often like I'm barely hanging on. You have no idea how much the vote of confidence that, just maybe I'm doing ok, means to me right now. Really. Thank you!!

Katie Talks About...
I picked up the frosted brownies at King Soopers.
But holy crap those things were good.
And whoever made the sugar cookies with the candy cane frosting, holy hell I could eat those things three meals a day. Please identify yourself and post the recipie, please and thank you!!
Whoa!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, ladies!
I gotta say, I feel bad for my award---I haven't been able to do much athletically this year due to pregnancy and Tara's been running her little booty off! In sleet and snow, I hear...you go girl!
Thanks to Dana for organizing! It was so fun to see everyone after so long!!!!
Four more years!

I agree! Melt-in-your-mouth good!

I haven't met a cookie I didn't like in this batch.
Mine were really basic peanut butter with mini-choco chips, nothing special or difficult at all.
I was voted Best Hostess and Most Helpful-thank you ladies!

Coop is honored and humbled by his "cutest DS award" - clearly that is one where the field is deep and richly deserving!

I was awarded the honors of prettiest eyes and hottest husband
(my hot husband was a little mortified!)
This made me laugh out loud.....too funny! (That he was a little mortified, not that he was voted hottest DH.)
YAY! YAY! YAY! Honestly I couldn't be more excited to win, I never win anything. I'm going to have to think up an acceptance speech... Thanks ladies! I'll try to continue to be the nestie singleton that offers you crazy single lady stories
Couldn't you just put your awards in your own mailbox? Seems a waste of a good stamp to mail it to yourself
You need your certificate. The glitter penis bunny on it was AWESOME!
I gotta say, of the two, that is a more awesome award! Congrats!
That's perfect---not that you're not awesome in so many ways, but I get it was your pretty eyes that got your hot husband's attention in the first place!
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
