N (16, with a lot of energy) decided we should go Black Friday shopping together this year - first time for the two of us to brave the crowds together.

We spent a whole lot more time actually sewing together when she was younger.

Rose, the baking memories and traditional frenzy of baking before Christmas are the memories that my girls will take with them. We are heavy duty cooks and bakers especially. We can taste something and copy it almost perfectly at home! We make about 6 different cookies at Christmastime and about 3 dozen of each. It is so much fun for us! We take over the entire kitchen and I line all the counters and table with waxed paper for easy clean-up. We try at least 2 new cookies each year and eliminate others. We have favorites and this year dd20 is making me make one of them before she leaves next week for college so she can have them fresh from the oven. We start this week and I deep freeze them till the few days before Christmas. Yum.


I made the Halloween costumes all through the childhoods, but I am not so talented to make real clothes! Good for you, and good for N.
