Before we left on vacation from vacation, Jess and her friends had a party for me and Anna. We all headed to the grocery store for supplies, the girls getting everything they needed for BBQ, Anna and Jess getting supplies for chocolate chip cookies, and I contributed strawberry shortcake as the party was on July 4th.
Back at Jess' the girls wasted no time in getting food prepared - some of them setting up the bbq outside while others began chopping and shredding vegetables and meat. They made an amazing meal for all of us to enjoy and were excited to finish because Jess had promised them that Anna would show them how to make chocolate chip cookies!
The ooooh's and ahhhhh's were as prevalent as at a fireworks display as the girls watched Anna measure and add the different ingredients - they were in awe! One friend was given the task of running the electric mixer. Standing as far back from the bowl as she could with her face covered, she tentatively started the small appliance only to be met with shreeks from the rest of the girls. Anna was a cookie goddess as she showed them how to place the raw dough onto the cookie sheet before placing it in the oven. Hesitant fingers dipped into the raw dough to taste with eyes brightening widely once their taste buds became engaged.
Jess has a great bunch of girlfriends who were very excited to meet her American family and celebrate Independence Day with us!
