cookies, cookies and more cookies

Lots of cooking making and eating this month. First was a cookie party, what is a cookie party? My first time to go to one, but it is exactly what is sounds like. A gathering where you each take turns baking, while chatting it up and snacking. Zappos bud Michelle hosted at her house. Brought the girls, so they could decorate.
Jayme started with a candy cane
Jaylin a green tree
the end result...fabulous cookies, and yummy made from Caron's special home-made recipe

These were one of my favorites...evil shivers...Before

After
don't these look YUM
at the end of the party, each person packs their tin with some of each cookie
we all had fun, the girls especialy, they passed on a bday party for this...I'm sure the puppy had something to do with it, and they got their own little tub of goodies
Since Jayson didn't get to go, he got first dibs on the cookies...as you can see he was in heaven!

A few days later we went to the M for free hot chocolate and more cookies to watch their tree lighting. The biggest tree in the Nation!

hot chocolate came in handy because it was freezing!

but nice because they had a bunch of entertainment
