Merry Merry!

Mission - Bake tons of cookies & a cake for my 

mother's High School Reunion/Party.

I got this.

Must remember to lower the speed when adding icing sugar.

On a side note, my counter looks very Christmasy.  

My super cute snowflakes

I had planned to make 'Idiot Mittens', but I forgot to flip the cookie cutter over.

 I was left with 24 Right Handed mittens.  

Meh.  They're still cute!

Inspiration for these mittens came from a pair of Felt Mittens 

&

The soft gingerbread cookie recipe comes compliments of Martha Stewart

I have been wanting to makes these since last year.

The inspiration for my snowman, came from me! 

I just love them!

More Goodies!  

These will be split between teachers, bus drivers, 

Secret Santas and our Annual Christmas Eve Cookie Delivery.

Each year, we pick a place to deliver Christmas goodies on Christmas Eve.  

We usually focus on staff that work the night shift on Christmas Eve.

In previous years we've delivered to fire & police departments, Base Commissionaires, Military Police  & Military Fire Departments

This year we're delivery to a Women's Shelter.

This shelter is open 24 / 7 365 days a year.  

On Christmas Eve, we'll deliver a batch of cookies, 

along with donations of clothes 

and non-perishable food items.  

As well as a few gifts for those families that are staying at the shelter.
