Christmas Goodies YUM

We went to my parents house to make an array of cookies to take people. The day before Cirdan and I went through his family recipe book and looked at a few recipes. We found some yummy recipes and then went to the store to buy the ingredients. My mom also had some ideas that she wanted to make. We made some traditional and non traditional Christmas cookies. All tasted delicious! I am glad that Christmas is over so that I won't be tempted with all the baked goods around the house.
We took plates of cookies over to friends and family later that night on the way to a Christmas party and also the next night. The kids had fun helping us take them to people's houses. This is something I remember my family doing growing up and I am glad that I can also do this with my kids.

Ava and Ella helped decorate the sugar cookies. Kaiya went to her dad's house for a few hours.




Jett was a good baby watching us in his car seat.
