Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

   This week Jaxson went to Vacation Bible School for the first time at the church that Arnauld and I go to.  He was really excited because on Friday night there was a program where he got to sing at church.  A few days ago he told my sister and I that he needed "one of those things boys wear on their necks because that's what boys wear when they sing at church."  So Arnauld bought him a very stylish tie and we baked cookies to celebrate the occasion.
