The Kennedy Family & The White Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunchers


Jessica Kennedy, aka Jess, aka Kipp, aka Kipper, is one of my roommates from college, well kinda. Let me explain, it was not like Jess didn’t leagally reside in out suite, it was just that she was hardly ever there. Jess is your quintessential over-achiever! If I can remember correctly she was: in one of the singing groups, played soccer, played broomball, a building rep for something, double-majored, and volunteered for tons of other things that I am sure I’m forgetting. She’s pretty freakin’ amazing!!! After college Jess remained in Rochester where she met her husband Mike. Although I do not know Mike as well as I’d like to, I do know that he is a great guy, husband, and father. Jess and Mike have a son Carter who is absolutely adorable and one of Ella’s (my niece) favorite friends!!! They are really a wonderful family and hopefully Ella and I can see more of them this summer! So Jess take a minute to stop the 5,000 things you are doing and enjoy a few cookies!!!

Delicious!! What a wonderful surprise to come home to a package of cookies on my doorstep! After dinner we "took a break" and Carter and I enjoyed a cookie. He declared, "mmmmm...this is the best cookie I ever had!" Thank you!
