This is my very very FAVORITE day of the year!!! I LOVED having all 6 grandsons and both sons come to grandma's house for this very SPECIAL day!!! We gave the moms/wives a break! It was quite an ordeal getting just under 1,000 cookies baked, but we got it done! The above picture is just under 1/3 of our finished product! Oh What A Day!!! As usual, click on any image to enlarge.
Here are the dippers, the rollers, and the smashers. R-L: Kevin, Grandpa, Sammer, Tom, Dillon.
Sammer (middle) being serious... lol!
Here are the bakers. L-R: Dalton, Joe, Tristan.
And here we all are (except Tom & Kevin) after an AWESOME Afternoon!!! This was Owen's first year to check this out... I know he will be joining in all the madness, too... maybe next year -- just so happy he was here, too!!! Love & Hugs to All!!!
OMGoodness!!! I almost forgot to mention the BEST SUPPORT EVER!!! Without Mikey, I could NOT have done this 4 days in a row of cooking!!! We make a darn good team working together in the kitchen!!! But, we are both happy that Christmas comes just once a year! lol!
Now we are ending the year and bringing in the New Year quietly... lol! I don't cook that much anymore for just the two of us. FOUR days of cooking for Christmas Eve Day and cookies was waaaaaay over-doing to me... lol! But, you know I will do it all over again NEXT YEAR, too!!! XOXOXOXOX
