Ascension/Pizza Friday

We are celebrating Ascension this Sunday (tomorrow) at church. We had some friends over to do Ascension cookies and then stick around for pizza Friday. There were seven kids/babies here. There was lots of unsupervised cookie decorating (eating icing), dog scaring and marshmallow roasting (supervised). One of the girls explained to her dad why we were making blue and white bird cookies. He said, "I'm so glad you know that." So are we.

The bad part is that with all the action, I only took a few
haphazard pictures. 

We relinquished all (most) control over cookie cutting/decorating.
So besides birds, there are some flowers and hearts and a pterodactyl.
The general icing theme was definitely "more is more".

Their nanny came along to help and she was a huge help
and even more so since I discovered she speaks
a little Finnish. I'm sure my mom would have figured out
how we are somehow cousins.
