Christmas vacation starts early!

Well, the kids were home today a day early on their Christmas break because we got a foot of snow!

so after the hubby dug us out!

 I decided to bake the Kolachki cookies I usually bake every year with my mom. It wasn't easy, but I felt it neded to be done, we've done it every year for the past 14 years. She was so funny with me sometimes, she was over here alot and would often just watch me. She liked to watch me cook or scrapbook, and I sometimes feel here here now watching me. Mom was a very anal retentive person. We would bake these cookies all day on the Saturday before Christmas. We would joke around on how we should have our own food network show. We had a funny banter between the two of us, and I missed that this year. When we were all done mom would pack my dad's cookie tin. Packing this tin was something she did as she did all things with the utmost love. She would go through all the cookies and find the most perfect ones and would select those for dad. So I packed the tin for him this year, I hope he can try and enjoy them.

That's actually me talking to dad as I am baking . Tiff's comming tomorrow to help make more, she has volunteered me to make some for some family friends of ours. She's good like that! She had better not celebrate too much tonight at that Christmas party, or else I may be a little grumpy to work with tomorrow! 

I have to share the pooch, Lanny keeps putting her Dog on so I had to get Tucker on the blog too!

 

 So, now I think I'll sit here and drink some hot cider and take a nap!
