Fun Mummy Cookies!

I know it's too early for Halloween, but Katie has to do a spot for enrichment on Halloween treats and I love finding cute things to do, so I'm sharing this video. I plan to make these for Evan's office this year since they always have a treat-sharing day on Halloween.

It's entitled " How to Make Easy Halloween Cookies" and shows Mummy and Spider Cookies demos on Howdini.

(And, as usual, I wanted to embed this video in the post but the site wouldn't let me or I didn't know how. Any tutorials would be appreciated.)

Hidden Springs Nielsen Family Reunion!






We had a great Nielsen family reunion at the Hidden Springs Lodge in Altamont, Utah (pop. 178 as of 2000 census). There were 104 people present (out of 160 possible) and we had a great time eating, playing, swimming, hiking, canoeing, biking, rock-climbing and just visiting with each other. Ross turned 89 on August 12 and Evan had created a huge timeline documenting all the highlights of the admirable lives of two very exemplary individuals, Ross and Louise Nielsen, his parents.

"A great time was had by all!"
