Cookie day

LOVED baking cookies today with Katie. And, of course we had to make our goofy gingerbread cookies again, including some anatomically "correct."  My mom used to always bake gingerbread cookies with Katie & we decided to continue that tradition with a few, um, alterations. Will have to take some pics.
Enough cookies to last the entire winter, I think, plus some easy-to-make fudge. That will put any pancreas in overdrive.

A Good Samaritan in our neighborhood recently held a Holiday Open House to benefit another area family. The young mother of 5 children has a very unusual, late stage type breast cancer. Although we were not able to attend the Open House, I knew we needed to help. So, after our cooking baking, we brought our donation...plus some of those cookies (minus the special gingerbread!)  Hearing stories of families in need, especially this time of year, reminds me of how fortunate we are, how precious life is and what's really important. Prayers for the Pickett family of O'Fallon.
