Christmas Cookies

December 10-18, 2011: This week, I continued the family tradition of baking Christmas cookies.  Mom came to help me (the 10th) and for over 11 hours we baked up a storm, using 23 sticks of butter, several pounds of sugar and all of the dishtowels in our house.  We had a great day and only had to throw out a few batches due to forgetfulness and lack of attention.  During the rest of the week, I finished off the rest of the cookies/candies, and then Eric and I spent Sunday (the 18th) afternoon delivering the goods to all of our neighbors.
