A dedication to my Momma…..
I have so many great memories with my parents at Christmas time. However, one of my favorite memories is making homemade sugar cookies. This is just not a quick event; it is all day process that involves a lot of family. The best part about it is decorating the cookies. By the end there is flour everywhere and sprinkles all over the place. However, it does not really matter to my Mom. She is amazing about letting us have fun and embracing the idea of a big cookie mess. We have a table called the Old Wood Table that we use ever year. I am sure there is permanent flour stuck in the wood details. We will continue this tradition next week when I am home for Christmas. However, I decided to do a trial run with Mia this year with her Play Group. Man did we have a ball, there was a lot of mess to clean but it was worth every moment. I actually tried my Moms recipe this year and it turned out good, Imagine that!!! Please enjoy the cookie fun!
I also wanted to tell my Mom that I want to be like her in so many ways. I hope that Mia has a mom that allows her to be a kid, to get her hands dirty and to value what means the most, and that is the precious time that you have with your kids. The house can be cleaned later, but the years will go by quickly, and I plan on making a ton of cookies with Mia. Gammy we can’t wait to do the real deal next week, love MIA!
