23 December

 cookie day!  There is nothing I enjoy more about the Christmas season than all the preparations.  hanging another strand of lights here, burning some homemade potpourri there, picking up a new Christmas table cloth, trying a new recipe.  It's how we show love and cultivate relationships with our people.  Because Christmas (and everyday) is about cultivating relationships with our people.  Our traditions and preparations grow and change as we do and it's fun to see how each of us makes their favorite part of the tradition happen in their own way. 

 New fondue pot to melt chocolate for the peanut butter Ritz cookies.......for the win.


 I love how they stand on chairs and sit on counters.  I'll cherish this photo when I'm 80 for sure.

 May I present the Zombie snowmen.  They tasted good anyway.
 I loved how L and B shared the job of putting the faces on the snowmen.  I told him he was a natural at cooking.


 Covering the table with craft paper for the win.


 These are the best our cut out cookies have ever turned out.....really.
 We ended up with an over the top amount of these chocolate ones.  Some are vacuum sealed and in the freezer for a summer pool party.  (Cause I'm really against sugar.....really.....but it's so fun making these cookies!)

For Santa....I hope he enjoys these!
