Holiday

Cookie Weekend!
Every year my Mom and I have a "cookie weekend". It has become such a traditon that everyone that recieves our creations start asking the 1st of Dec. "Have you had cookie weekend yet?" Well actually our husbands co-workers. ;) 

This year I brought Maggie and Xavier to join in on our fun. They love helping in the kitchen so we all had our matching aprons and headed to Grandma's house. This is a 3 day event. Starting Friday afternoon and ending in a fog of flour dust on Sunday evening. 

Friday night we started by making the cut out cookies. 
On Saturday Mom and I made most of the cookies. 
Here is a list:
coffee spice cookie
snickerdoodlesx2
peanut butter kissx2
sugar cookies
milk choc chip
hello dollies
white choc cranberry x2
Mrs Fields mud bars x2(my favs)
eagle brand fudge
white fudge
saltine candy
dipped choc pretzels

On Sunday we finished up with
Cranberry bread
poppyseed bread
perpermint bark
Kifli cookies


Once Riley came down on Sunday we decorated our cut out cookies.
Our beautiful decorated cookies!

After an exhausting weekend this is the table of our hard work. Most of my family thinks we are crazy but love the treats they get at the end. ;)
