I think I've found another hobby...making cookies!  :-)  I wanted to make cookies for Max's birthday party (to use as thank you's).  I found a great recipe for cut out cookies, and learned how to make royal icing.  I didn't have a cookie cutter for the boot and horse, so I made a template and cut around them with a knife.  I also didn't have the correct food colorings on hand, so I ended up having an orange-y looking horse...but overall was pleased with the outcome.  The cookies looked so cute bagged and tied with ribbon too!  I have already bought a bunch of new cookie cutters now and have plans to make more yummy cookies in the future.
