For our entire married life, Christmas has equaled concert craziness and party overload. But this Christmas has been different. No parties, no concerts, just chill. Sick kids have kept me homebound and so this Christmas I have baked and sewed and listened to Pandora.
Once upon a time, Paul's grandma baked and baked hundreds of cookies for the Christmas season. She would make turtles and sugar cookies, Russian Tea Cakes and chocolate covered pretzels. This year I decided to attempt to make a small amount of the cookies she made. Starting with my own version of turtles.... ahhhhh.... aren't they cute.
Chocolate covered pretzels also got their own twist and this year we made turtle pretzels - yum! While attempting to include all of Paul's favorites I decided to include a few of our traditional cookies.. crinkles with a twist, gingerbread men, and my mom's favorite...cherry mash
What fun is cookies if the kids can't help
To top off the whole project..... gum drop trees
FUN:)
ReplyDelete2 thoughts. 1, these cookies and pretzel creations look so good and i was about to ask you if we could make all these but then realized this was probably pre-Dr. Dan and now, 2 years later, all of us have seen the light and would probably be hurting afterwards if we indulged. and 2, you still have that sweater. and i think that is so great. :)
