Tonight we had a twin cookie decorating party. We invited the four "twin families" that we are friendly with, and three were able to make it. We started the night out with ziti, salad and garlic bread.
All the cookie prep. Each kid got a cup of vanilla and chocolate frosting, and they shared the sprinkles.
This really was a great night. To be honest, I really didn't feel up to it. I have been consumed by grief and fighting back tears for the past 48 hours. I thought about cancelling the party, but realized that it was important for the kids. They had been looking forward to it and were so excited. And as I talked to my friends tonight, so many said to me that they were thankful for this event which allowed them a chance to forget about all the sadness that we are feeling for the families in Newtown tonight. Thankful but sad is what we are tonight.
