First College Graduation.....Celebrated with Cookies, Of Course!

The excitement begins!

Tomorrow my son, Neil, graduates.

He is our first of five young adult children to graduate from college.

To say we're a little proud is an understatement!

The best way I know to express my love and pride is to

decorate a special set of cookies JUST for him.

(surprise, surprise...lol)

So I did just that this week.

Here's a sneak peek of cookies

to celebrate the weekend of festivities.

I'll share lots more details and tutorials in the coming weeks.

For those of you who have been around this blog for a few years,

Here's the blog posts I wrote about it:

As you can see.....he is now fully recovered from that

whole ordeal. :)

To God be the glory.....

great things He has done. :)

Last year, Neil had the incredible opportunity

and do what he loves most.......

photography and video production.

...on a continent he has grown to love.

I made him special cookies to

commemorate his wonderful experience.

And now....two years after a horror in our lives,

Neil is alive, well, and graduating from college...

a dream of his.

As I'm writing this post,

I'm chuckling.....thinking how I've just chronicled

Neil's life and times through cookies.......

but then, what would you expect from his

CookieCrazie mom? =)

We're off to celebrate an amazing young man...

I love you Neil....

and am so glad that God gave me the
