A lo of my Christmas tradtion of decorating cookies with my best friend and our families.


Journaling:
My favorite holiday tradition!
Lynn you are my best friend and I love our tradition of decorating Christmas cookies! Although the end result is hundreds of beautiful, yummy cookies the most important part is spending time together! I love that our children get along so well and it is fun to watch the lighthearted competition of whose cookies are the most creative!
