The cookie ladies

We do all our grocery shopping at the same store in town and probably go a few times a week.  Sometimes in the winter it may just be for one thing but it gets us out of the house at least.  Thankfully at the bakery you can get your kids a free cookie which keeps them busy and happy while we are trying to shop.  We see the same few ladies each time and over the years my girls have developed a little relationship with them.  They started to get to know us when Mia was old enough to get her cookie.  They have seen her grow, they saw me pregnant with Melody, our first shopping trip with Melody we stopped by to introduce her.  They have seen Melody grow and eventually be old enough to get her own cookie now too.  Mia knows their names and they know my girls by name. That's the extent of our relationship and interaction with them but they are a witness to our girls growing up and I think that is sweet.  I'm thankful for our cookie ladies!
