cookie monsters

Today begins our annual three day Christmas Cookie baking extravaganza.  Some of you may remember the pictures from last year (if not, here ya go....)

We doin' it a little low key this year.  We are only making five different types of cookies and only four different flavors of tarts.

I will admit it is expensive to buy all of the ingredients.  I wonder if my prominent product placement would qualify me for one of those sponsored posts some of you make coin with?

2008 cookies 004a

With kids who have their own lives and jobs...finding a weekend in December when everyone can get here is sometimes a scheduling nightmare. (okay...since SugarCookie reads this blog upon occasion...I will admit that I am gonna be away a couple weekends...) 

The oldest arrived last night...finished the supply shopping and first thing this morning started mxin' with her GammerKay.
 
2008 cookies 003a(the BearCub texted me at 7:30 am sayin' he was coming over when he finished pouring concrete...Little Missy works graveyard and is going through one of her phases...)

okay...gotta get back to it.

Looks to me like the good folks over at C&H should throw some Christmas Cash your way as you obviously threw some theirs!

Have a great time and eat a couple cookies for me (no one will notice, right?!?)!

Can we have sugar cookies again, please?
Can't eat 'em but CAN put 'em on the tree.
Just sayin'........

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.....
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens....
Bright paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things....

I hope you girls enjoy yourselves. I'd love to taste your hard work. :D

I think you should get some free stuff too, by the way.

A wonderful family tradition. Y'all have had a difficult year and I am so happy the tradition continued for you.

I am sure the weekend was sensational!
