Making Cookies

Despite the busy, crazy nature of our lives, there’s always time for making holiday cookies, especially when mom jumps into the fray. R wanted to make holiday cookies with the kids, and I was wondering when we were ever going to find the time, but find the time they did. This was in the midst of going to assorted social occasions (Solstice party, Christmas parties), hockey games, and trying to scramble to prepare for Christmas.

Best of all, I didn’t have to do a thing. Mom took the reigns and took off with the kids. They had a blast, even improvising and coming up with their own ideas (I love when that happens), and the cookies came out beautifully, and the recipe wasn’t that complicated. The kids made candy canes, cookies and even Santa hats. They reminded me of short bread, and they looked and tasted great.

What a nice way to cruise into the holidays. Thanks for reading.
