Cookies...the perfect way to loose the baby weight

This is the time of year to break out all of the holiday traditions and one of my favorites always falls the week before Christmas...baking with my grams. We have done it since I was a little girl and I still look forward to it every. single. year.

I tried to remember to take pictures, but, as usual, I am terrible!

Here are the baked sugar cookies...before the homemade icing was added. Which, of course, I forgot to take pictures of.

All the mixin's for some chocolate chip cookies.

Butter pecan...my daddy's favorite!

And my sweet Lainey bug...I over heard her prayer:

Dear God,

Please, please, please don't let mommy burn down the kitchen. Please.

Love,

Lainey

Merry Christmas, ladies!
