My little Cookies....

Because I have twins, I get a lot of comments from people about them. My twins are technically identical, yet they look different enough you can tell them apart. Our doctor has told us even with identical twins, you can get a lot of variance for a lot of different reasons. Lately I've heard a lot of, "Are you sure their identical? I thought identical twins were supposed to look exactly alike?" Well, as I've thought of this, for some reason my mind turned to chocolate chip cookies. In a batch of cookies, even though they all have the EXACT same ingredients, they still all turn out slightly different when they come out of the oven. I guess identical twins are like that in a way too. So then I got to thinking about how all my kids are sweet and delicious as well, and what type of cookies they are:

Daniel - SNICKERDOODLE mostly just for the name. It reminds me of his funny and quirky personality.

Abbey - PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP warm and comforting sweetness, with a little spice :)

Joshua- HOMEMADE OREO - pure, sweet goodness.
Zach and Gabe - CHOCOLATE CHIP since that's what I first pictured them as.

Cael and Nathan - PEANUT BUTTER but because they're not twins, different recipes of the same. They have so many of the same personality traits, Nathan is often dubbed Cael Jr.

Then I thought of Nic and wondered about his cookie status. Immediately I thought of PEANUT BUTTER again, because it's his favorite kind. Ironically though Cael and Nathan are both so much like their Dad, it's fitting they are all slightly different variations of the same yummy goodness.

Me? Hmmm...well I guess I'll go with CHOCOLATE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND A FEW NUTS. I have a deep love of chocolate and as this post clearly indicates, am slightly nutty as well. Well, here is to my wonderful family, full of sweet homemade goodness that I find irrestible and wonderful! I'm grateful for the joy they have all brought to me:)
