THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Christmas Cookies

Last week we made Christmas sugar cookies and the kids did most of the work, from start to finish. They put everything in the mixer and made the dough. They rolled them out and cut them with cookie cutters. And after they were baked and cooled, they did all the decorating. The kids were so hungry after all their hard work, that the cookies were hardly decorated before they ended up in their mouths. It was a fun night.
