Today the Lord answered our prayers and brought Jonathan home safely from his trip last week to Houston, TX. Whew! Now I can relax.
I know, I know...people come and go and fly all the time! But Jonathan's avionics work doesn't often take him away from his home airport. So we were eagerly looking forward to his safe return.
Take a look at what Sarah baked up to welcome him home...quite the appropriate gift for our very own resident Cookie Monster!
First, Sarah found a copycat recipe for Chips Ahoy cookies at the Food.com site. Then she baked the cookies that she put in Cookie Monster's mouth.
The cupcakes were made with a Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge cake mix, and then she piped on blue icing for the body and white icing and chocolate chips for the eyes. She made a pretty convincing Cookie Monster, don't you think?

Oh my Sarah those are to cute! I'm sure Jonathan did love them! What a wonderful welcome home treat!
Glad your cookie monster is back safe and sound!

My goodness, those are so cute! How clever. I do not have any sort of cake decorating skills, so I admire that in a person! Well, even the cooking skills are often beyond me. :-) Glad everyone in your family is safe and sound.

Hello Deb,
Glad all are safe and back home, nothing like some Cookie Monster cookies. They are so cute.
Have to say that the previous post with the beautiful antique shop you visited sounds and looks divine.
Happy days.

I hope your resident cookie monster shared some of his cookies with the rest of you. :) Glad he's home safe and sound. I'm like you Deb, I don't like when someone in the family is away. Hope Jonathan can stay put for a while.
