Kaitlyn's grad party

Katelyn’s graduation party was held at a beautiful local creek.  Her mother (my sister), Brenda, went all out on food and decorations and everything was delicious and festive!  

The weather could not have been better.  

It was a super nice, relaxing time.  

Only me and Drew went as Roy had to work and Wolfie was more interested in his games.

Drew enjoyed the water with Rachael and hunting for shells, then counting them out.

Brenda has lost so much weight since her surgery and while I’ve always thought she was beautiful – no matter her weight, she is looking so good today and I’m happier she is getting to a healthier weight.

RECIPE!!

3 rolls sugar cookies cut into 12 slices 

then cut in half to make 24 pieces each roll. 

Roll into a ball and place in PAM'd mini muffin pan. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until done. 

When you take them out use a...

melon baller scoop or the end of a handle 

to make the indentation for the filling and let cool. 

For the filling: 

Beat together 1 pkg cream cheese & 

16 oz cool whip (both at room temperature), 

6 Tbsp lime juice (or juice & zest from 2 lg limes), 

4 Tbsp powdered sugar. 

Spoon into a gallon baggie and clip the corner, 

squeeze into the cookie cups (after you've removed 

them to a tray, otherwise it's a pain to try and dig them
