My baking buddyAfter taking a few extra looks at my "Sweet Sunday" post a couple of weeks ago, I decided that Chloe needed her own "april" (as she affectionately calls "apron"). I looked at various websites that sold aprons, but I couldn't really find any that I liked...and if I did like it, it didn't come in a Chloe size. So, I was feeling a little bit ambitious and decided I would attempt to make my own. I bought some fabric and made up a little pattern. Nothing fancy...no pockets, zippers, buttons. Just a little something to cover up Miss Chloe when she bakes. Just a replacement for her baking overalls. Just an apron. (And then I made one for me!!!)
Today after church, we made chocolate chip cookies. I am in LOVE with this recipe. Our home teacher brought them to us a while ago and I begged his wife for her recipe. They are the first chocolate chip cookies that I have made that don't come out of the oven flat. Here is the recipe:

I love the fabric you made your aprons out of. Very cute. By the way, we are planning on doing our Halloween party again this year. We were wondering if you know when your ward Halloween party is going to be so we don't plan ours on the same night. We're thinking of doing ours on the 25th. Thanks!
