Well, faithful readers, we've kept it quiet for as long as we could: Joe and I are expecting our first baby!!! On or around Thanksgiving Day of this year we are planning to welcome another cookie-sampler to our family, and we couldn't be happier!
Back in Early April, I put together some little Easter baskets for our Moms to break the good news, and of course I had to include some baby themed cookies (I couldn't help myself).
Using the same sugar cookie dough that I baked in my Easter Strawberry Tart, I rolled out and cut some cute little onesie cookies with a cookie cutter I actually bought when my cousin announced she was pregnant in December (who knew I'd need it for myself!).
I only had Blue gel food coloring to dye my Royal Icing, which has led some to believe I am hoping for a boy (No Comment).
Hehehe, I had way too much fun making these. I decided to add the Due Date for a little personalized touch.
Then into the baskets they went with a little ribbon and plastic wrap and a baby book to keep them company....
We are so Excited to finally share the news with more than just a few people. Hopefully I will continue to keep up with the baking (several of my recent posts were the results of odd pregnant lady cravings).
Happy Baking!
I was so happy as you noticed when i got an easter basket.....i hope the blue will mean something...but girl or boy is my precious...
