I love every opportunity that I have to spend with my mom and dad! Last Friday after school was over, I met my parents for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants before checking out the Irwin Christmas cookie tour. The Colonial Grille is our favorite Sunday breakfast hang out with a delicious breakfast buffet, and the best coffee you can get! It just kills me to not be able to drink the coffee right now! Chocolate milk will have to do :-)
Irwin is a great little town that is really being spruced up to bring in a new crowd! There are lots of cute shops, bakeries, and a renovated theater called The Lamp that was really big in its time. Now, I may be a bit partial, but the best part of Irwin is our amazing Catholic church, Immaculate Conception! Just look how beautiful it is during the Christmas season!

During our cookie tour, my mom and I stopped in The Cheesecake Café. We decided to purchase a few pieces of cheesecake, which were delicious! On the way out, we sampled the Oreo cheesecake cookies and loved them right away! Thankfully we got the recipe and had to try it this week! For only having five ingredients, these cookies are amazing and simple! As silly as it may sound, they remind me a lot of one of my favorite blizzards at Dairy Queen - Oreo Cheesequake!
