Another tradition .....baking Christmas cookies

 August 27, 2021

Another tradition is to get together with our daughters and grandchildren to make Christmas cookies for all of us to eat and to give away as gifts. Every age of grandchild gets involved in the process in some way. 




We pick a day in early December and come to the ranch to bake and fellowship.  We have some standard recipes that we use again and again each year for the goodies we just love to eat and make. We each have our 'specialties' that we excel at making.  We keep two mixers and two ovens and lots of cookie sheets going in and out of the oven. Seems we are always in a hurry but we make the most of whatever time we have. When we are done baking we make a big tray of goodies for each family to eat as they celebrate Christmas.  We also box up dozens of goodies to take to friends and neighbors.

We even get the boys into the spirit of Christmas!
