Christmas cookies made today
today we had our annual family baking today. the sugar cut-out variety we always do together. the other kinds usually my daughter and I do. the older the kids get, the LOUDER and messier the kitchen is. go figure.

I think that is so cool that EVERYBODY takes part. That is the goal for having teenagers for me...they are still willing to hang out with us! Congrats - what a lovely memory for all!

Thanks so much for sharing! Love the pics. (I spent the afternoon and evening of my 51st birthday making 7 dozen cookies for "The Land Of Sweets" while DD was rehearsing for hours for The Nutcracker).
Do I know how to party, or what?
