We like to have our grandchildren visit us every few weeks and this weekend was Rachel’s turn. We picked her up after lunch on Saturday and when we got home Karen cooked up a batch of sugar cookies for Rachel to decorate. She frosted them orange, then she and Rachel piped yellow, brown, and black frosting onto the cookies to make delicious Halloween treats.
Later that afternoon we went to see the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. It was a fun movie for kids to see and you can read my review the first part of next month.
Lance and Cherise pack up a bag for Rachel when she visits that has her jammies, a change of clothes, some stuffed animals to sleep with, and various toys and activities that she’d like to play with when she’s here. One of the things she brought was a book of animals with anaglyph (red-blue) 3-D pictures. 3-D is one of my favorite hobbies and I take every chance I can to make Rachel interested in it. We try to see all the 3-D movies that come to town. So when she showed me her book of animals I decided to make a little 3-D treat for her. I took some photos of her and while she and Karen were out shopping, I turned them into 3-D views that use the same glasses that came with her animal book. If you happen to have a pair of red-blue 3-D glasses hanging around, and who doesn’t these days, you can see our girl in three dimensions.
After she and Karen were done shopping I gave her the 3-D pictures and we drove over to my mother’s so Lance and I could install a new ceiling fan. I did actually help but mostly it was Lance who did the heavy lifting.
She is soooo cute and the cookies look yummy too.
P.S.
some of us don’t have 3 d glasses hanging about Butchie.
Butch and Karen,
You guys are the coolest grandparents ever.
Sugar cookies are my favorite! Could you send some my way?
I wish we were close enough to do these fun weekends with Grandma and Grandpa too.

The cookies were yummy. And the best part, Karen and Butch are on a diet, so we got to bring them home!
Rachel always has a wonderful time with Grandma Karen and Grandpa Butch.
My goodness she is so big! She is such a beauty! The cookies look yummy. Lorelei and I are going to attemp a similar feat this week.
Grandma Paddy appreciated the installation of the fan and the cookies
Darn.. I misplaced my 3D glasses! Looks like it was a fun week-end tho. Those Halloween cookies sure look good.
