The rest of Christmas

I made a lot of cookies for Christmas, as in 700+ cookies. For three days my kitchen was, as my kids put it, " a cookie factory." This was the first time I counted the cookies. I made a lot less than in previous years. But it was still a lot of work. Sometimes I had little helpers too!

 Some of the mess...

 Filling some of the tins!

 These are my personal favorite, Molasses Spice

 Chocolate Chip

 Thumbprints

Oatmeal Raisin

 Butter Rum Meltaways

 Peppermint and Chocolate pinwheels

 My uncle told me that its the hand or home made gifts that a person remembers...

Back to Christmas

It has been eventful to say the least the past few months. So I am going again back to Christmas...


Last year we missed Christmas in the Park. This year we did not! Here are a few Pictures...

I look so serious!

 Sophia clowning around as usual!

 Anna Banana the Nutcracker!

 I took maybe 10 pictures of the girls with their abuelita, not once could I get them all to look at the darn camera

 Aren't those mice cute!

 This was one of my favorite trees, it was put on by a preschool.

 Only 4 days until Christmas!!!

 Another of my favorites, it was an organic garden!
Put on by a high school.

 

I really love Christmas in the Park, I have been going to it since I was a little girl. Now my girls get to build the same memories...
