The bakers! (several are missing from the picture)
It is fun to share a little part of our culture and traditions with our Mexican friends - they were writing down recipes and enjoying it all just as much as us! And the kids! Reece was sneaking cookies left and right...and later, while I was cleaning up I suddenly caught Chase with one hand in the icing bowl (which he had grabbed off the counter from his secure high-chair position!) and the other hand firmly gripping a huge spoonful of very sweet and very red icing! I tried a few recipes from childhood memories - lots of fun! Our combined efforts produced around 15 plates of goodies that we will share with church members, neighbors, and friends -just a little way to share the joy of Christmas and to say "Feliz Navidad"!
Hmmm mmm!

We just got to spend 3 dyas with my mom (who still works full time and has arthritis) baking cookies! We made candy cane cookies (like the ones in your photo) and penny cookies and brownies and snowballs and chocolate crinkles... etc...
My 16 year old and your one year old are guilty of the same sneakiness - except Cassia was getting crinkle dough on her finger and dipping it in powdered sugar!
Merry Christmas from the Pacific Northwest (it's 19 degrees today), Carolyn.
Blessings,
