Our stake hosted the youth dance this month, which was Saturday night. My cookies were requested for the refreshments, so I set my new record for number of cookies made in one day--somewhere around 300. I ended up with about 100 left over, but that was actually convenient because then I took them to church the next morning and had my Young Women make their moms a little goodie bag for mother's day--and it looked like I actually planned it. 
I have never taken pictures of a baking marathon before, but I shot a few on Saturday to post here. The dance decor theme was Luau. Chocolate Chip cookies I couldn't make fit into the the theme, but I made them anyway. I was going to make sugar cookies with a hibiscus-shaped cookie cutter, but then I had a better idea--HULA DANCERS. I got my gingerbread girl cutter out and went to town. Aubrey made the grass skirts and I made the pink flower leis. I think they are the cutest sugar cookies I have ever made.
I heard how cute the hula dancers were but couldn't envision it. So cute...thanks for sharing!
