Cookies, Everywhere Cookies!

Each year, for as long as I can remember, Mom and I have worked together to make a bunch of cookies for Christmas.  We pared down the list a bit this year and we started with dough already made up and chilled.  I can't say enough about how this saved us time and energy.


Grace and I rolled and cut while Mom worked the oven.

Then we decorated them.  And Mom made batches of Seven Layer Bars and Mexican Wedding Cookies. She is going to make some peanut butter fudge before Christmas Eve and that is the end of it all, I think!   



And what were the boys doing today?  They were off to see Tron in 3-D with their Granddad!



Can you find the one bunny Grace made?

  1. Oh what sweet memories you are making! Awesome photos and the cookies look so yummy!
    Thanks for stopping by. The kitty is our sweet Fancy Rose. We had given her away as a kitten only to find she was being abused terribly. She came back home pg and terrified of the life and all that is in it. She is one very special kitty. She has overcome most of her past and is so dearly loved. She is 1/2 siamease and persian. Was the runt of her litter and is tiny.

  2. Sounds wonderful. I too think I am going to shorten my list AND spread out making it till New Years. It doesn't help that I have a cold. ((sigh)) Have a great time with G-ma.

    Blessings and ((HUGS))

  6. It all looks yummy. So when did you originally make the dough? Truthfully I am tired of cookies, but we started baking at the beginning of December. :)
    Oh, and I think I found the bunny. It looked like just the head, and it was white & pink, am I right? :)
