It never feels completely like Christmas until the Christmas cookies are made. When Marc and I were very little, mom began the tradition of these special, homemade sugar cookies. We would decorate them for hours and then mom would make goodie boxes up with them and all the other yummy things that she baked. Then we would take them to friends and neighbors. Once Marc and I became teenagers, the tradition evolved into having our friends over for a Cookie Decorating Party and whatever they decorated, they got to take home to their families.
We have continued the tradition and had our Cookie Party this past weekend. What fun it was to sit around the table, chat and decorate cookies!!!

Hi Cami,
Enjoyed reading your blog and seeing the tasty treats. It's wonderful to hear you are continuing your Mom's tradition. Hopefully, Jarod and Ann will one day share this experience with their "children". It was good to see your pic and also Emily, please say Hi to her and the boys. Miss you at the gym, saw Ann with Sam the other day. Those cookies look very tempting! Hope to see you soon!
Merry Christmas to y'all!
