Family Balance Sheet

DECEMBER 1, 2014

I grew up baking cut out Christmas cookies with my mother and grandmother. We make gingerbread men every year. My girls love making them–maybe because of the mess–LOL. While I love to bake, baking many different kinds of Christmas cookies is just too overwhelming for me and my schedule.

Host a Cookie Swap. I grew up baking Christmas cookies with my mother and grandmother and I definitely want to continue the tradition with my own girls. But baking several varieties of Christmas cookies can be more time consuming than our hectic schedules allow. Several years ago, I attended my first cookie swap.

Pop some popcorn, make some hot chocolate, snuggle up on the sofa, and watch hilarious movie classics. Make decorating your home for the holidays a family event by playing Christmas music, serving cookies, and hot chocolate. My favorite is a hand crocheted ornament made and given to me in 1978 by my great-grandmother.

Last night I stated the two day long process of making cake balls for the Dallas Swap (This Saturday!~ Let’s begin with proper baking attire… The vintage Spice Girls tee is not required, but recommended if available. The vintage apron was my grandmothers. Tags: Dallas Swap. Isn’t that crazy? I love aprons.
