Christmas cookie time!

This year I made my holiday cookies early. I made chocolate chip, gingerbread and shortbread. Similar to my blog posts last year,   "Snow and Cookies" and "My First Blog Post - Christmas Décor", here are pics of my baking, décor and winter fun.

They were so pretty that I had to include them!

Snow and Cookies

 

It has been snowing here for the past week and I wanted to show you the sparkling snow in my yard. When I took my dog outside the other night it was so beautiful that I had to take a picture.

 

I made Christmas cookies this year. I don't think I have ever really done Christmas baking, but I had the urge so I made gingerbread, shortbread and sugar cookies. My favorite were the shortbread. They were dipped in chocolate and I soon had an addiction on my hands!

 

 

I gave some away as gifts and saved some in the freezer for my family when they visit.

              

 

 I put some silver jingle bells on my windowsill in a glass apothecary jar from a thriftstore. I tossed my Polar Express bell on top.

 Last month I painted a mug at Color Me Mine in Kelowna (before they had a fire that burned the place down) =(     I love drinking coffee and Baileys out of my Santa mug!
