Win attended his first ever LaBarge Christmas Cookie Party. Every year since 1997 our good friend Melissa LaBarge has thrown a Christmas cookie decorating party for all of her friends. Jared, Melissa and Heather Swier are the only three people who have attended all 10 years. I missed one year because I was in Mexico. We are all so die-hard about this party that we even had t-shirts made to commemorate this the tenth annual party. As you might be able to see from the picture this is no ordinary cookie decorating party. This is a cut-throat competitive decorating party. If your cookie is not 3D it better be amazing to even get noticed by the judge--Missy's Dad.
