@Country homesteader .... Hmmm. Two days makes a time crunch for baking! Better push hard. Guys never listen! 
Same 25* and whiteness here this morning. It's pretty. It's melting. It's sunshine wonderful....it's all the glow I need...couple hrs worth
Time for another cuppa. First of 6 days at home...yah!! Buzzer just happened -- need to empty dryer, toss another load in and fold dry stuff. Good start to my day. Extra hay out last night meant they had plenty without me this morning.
eat up, don't waste it!
That's a task for this week...more hay racks.

yes, Mom has already gotten the mixer going today for yet more cookies. jello cookies, good thing i don't like the dough of those or i would already be in trouble. will have to help frost later. no decorations. way too many for that.

Mom did 50 dozen sugar cookies over the last weekend. Still needs to frost them. Then she will take them around. She says this is the last year.
Wilton has discontinued the butter flavor extract she uses. She saw this as a sign to really quit the cookies

DANG! I don't even know enough people to give 50 dozen cookies too!
Kudos to your mom for that. That is a lot of baking!

There are fights over cookies with some of the cousins. Mom's side of the family is quite large now. I actually knew everyone when I was a kid but now those around my age have a grandkid or two.
Great grandparents came from Switzerland around 1918 and 1920 I think. They had 6 kids. 21 grandkids (Mom's generation). I'm the oldest of my generation. Mom doesn't make cookies for all of them, but takes a whole bunch to the main family home and one of her first cousins gets a personal bunch. Then Mom and Dad's siblings that are local and my brothers. She made me some to take at Thanksgiving. They are sitting in the freezer.
