Every year we hold an annual cookie exchange with Samuel's side of the family. It's very traditional, and all the classic cookies and treats are covered. You can always count on an excellent Butter Nut Ball, a moist Peanut Butter cookie, and some amazing Toffee and Peanut Brittle.
Yum!
Yum!
Last year, we instituted the tradition with my side of the family and I love it because it's more of a wild-card affair, with everyone taking the opportunity to try new recipes. There's tons of sampling, and because we hold it at 11:00 AM, it's basically lunch for the day!
Do you hear my kids complaining?

What a great opportunity for our family to come together in a warm and toasty kitchen to laugh, to remember, and to love!
When was the last time you ate a cookie AND shared a hug?
Try it!
It makes all the difference!
