Red White & Blueberry Cookies--Daniel's Birthday Cookies :)

Today is my baby's 22nd birthday!  
Wish he was here...or I was there...sigh...

It's always hard for me not to be with my children 
on their birthdays...no matter how old they get!  

We're planning a trip to see him in a couple of weeks, 
but it's not the same for this Mom to not get to see him today!

While the kids were here this weekend, 
we created a birthday cookie just for him...
full of white chocolate chips, 
Craisins and dried blueberries...they were delish!!

We mailed him a package and some drawings by Kaia 
that he will get today...so we hope that brings 
a little bit of home to him on his special day :)
