These two are just too adorable together. Such typical girls- having fun playing dress up, babies, barbies, house, and all sorts of imaginative games. I'm so thankful that Claire has a friend (and cousin) her age who lives right next door!
I found this recipe on Pinterest awhile ago, and it seriously is the best. It's easy and the cookies turn out perfectly soft. These two absolutely LOVE them.

It was another cloudy, cool day here. Perfect time to break out the $7.00 bubble machine that kept the kiddos entertained for hours!
