Cookies and Cousins ... and cakes and coins. Mom/Margie was trying to host monthly family gatherings, and for February, we were celebrating some birthdays too. Mckenna, Alyssa and Callahan. So in addition to lots of cookies, there was cake. And coins. The "penny plunge" where the birthday kids could attempt to grab as many pennies as they could from one container and carry them to another.
Here's Jen's Journal entry ... "Made some cookie-press cookies for the “Cookies and Cousins”. At 6:00, we went out to my parents, we were actually the first ones there. Mom set up a “penny plunge” for the birthday kids (McKenna, Alyssa and Callahan) to see how many pennies they could transfer from one bowl to the next in 30 seconds. Shane and Alicia brought sugar cookie hearts for the kids to decorate. Landon ended up going home with Scott and Amy, as his sleep overs with Kellen are one of the highlights of his off-track time."
Later in the year (in August) Grandma and Grandpa would come out to the Blackham house for more birthdays (Cooper and Keaton) in the Fall. They brought the pennies and the bowls. This Penny Plunge was caught on video camera.
