Last night Erin and I spent the evening making cookies at grandma's house. We used a sugar cookie recipe that belonged to my great-great-grandma Christie and rolled out the dough using a rolling pin that belonged to her as well. Her husband, my great-great-grandpa, made it for her by hand. I don't have any photos of my great-great-grandparents, but the photo above is of their two daughters Grace and Martha. Grace moved to Oklahoma and lived on a farm. Martha married my great-grandpa, Harry Horner, and the two lived on the farm that now belongs to my father.

Last night as I balanced baking cookies and chasing after Hayden I imagined my great-great-grandma doing the same so many years ago.
