Twas the night before Christmas…

…and all through the house you could smell cookies, 4 different kinds!

I got my domesticity on today. This is the first year I have really felt up to taking on such a daunting task. When I was working, and when Solvei and Nels were small, I never had enough time, energy or patience to make Christmas cookies. But painting Christmas cookies is one of the fond memories I have from when I was a kid, and I want my kids to have lots of memories like those. Saedi helped me make Great Grandma’s Christmas treats. She loves helping in the kitchen, and tells me so every time I let her. I made Nate’s favorite cookies, peanut-butter chocolate-chip. Saedi, Gavin and I made and painted sugar cookies. And I made chocolate sugar cookie batter but that will have to bake tomorrow (ran out of time). So now my house smells delicious!

The kids told me to leave Santa hot chocolate instead of milk with the cookies.

I even have dough made to make cinnamon rolls in the morning (mmmmm, yummy!) and ambitions to make a pumpkin roll for dessert, we’ll see if there is time for that though.
