Cookie Day with My Granddaughters..

Today was our day to bake spritz cookies,, It became a tradition long ago and I look forward to it year after year.. This year we cut it pretty close and almost didn't get to have it, but alas it was a fun day.

The cookies are easy and go fast with the electric gun,, not so many years ago it was done with a press and oh my, your hand would get so sore.. Also they can operate the gun now and  I just watch.. How special this time is for me..  They are so beautiful............and feisty..

Have a beautiful Christmas...............

Another Snow

Well it was barely in the forcast but we have another2-21/2 inches.. Just getting in another mode here this morning so I thought I would share my SANTA COLLECTION.. One Belsnickle, one Russian (my son-in-law) brought back from Moscow, one carved by Mr. Couple,the one all the way to the left hanging a Victorian Santa was given to me by my little sister, pewter by Michael Ricter,Jim Shore, just love his creations but they are getting pricey these days. I used to make Santas and had one published in a magazine years ago..Maybe I will share him too someday.To all my wonderful blog friends we wish you health,love, happiness and wealth in 2011.. Thanks for being a friend......
