Hi, Dear Readers. I have been doing more than blogging this last few weeks. We had Thanksgiving and then slid into full blown Christmas prep---going through everything--jarring memories--and rearranging, culling, cleaning. I'll be able to post more soon.
An old 'memory' that popped up
on my FaceBook from 7 years ago.
We only have one grand girl. And from the beginning we always did things with her when she visited.
Here she is at just two all ready for making
Christmas cookies.
We pretty much left her alone to do what she wanted on Family Cookie Day...where we make cookies with 4-5 families around our island and huge kitchen table.
She was very quiet, content in the high chair and busy. I'm always a believer it is the process that is to be enjoyed, and not the final result with children.
No one paid her any attention as tray after tray of cookies went into the oven. Meanwhile, Grampa was giving her more flour and more 'child safe-no-fresh-eggs cookie dough'.
These were her mom's photos
Probably two hours later....
"OH, Dear....I have flour in my hair, and I'm all sticky..., I'm not sure I like this."
Like I said, it's the process....lol.
Everyone else was very busy, too!

I love your time travel and seeing your cookies. As you may know from my post earlier this week, cookies are a tradition in our family too. I hope I get to do them with the grands although with Covid in one family and who knows what, we might be back to just the two of us for Christmas again. We'll see!
