Cookies

Sometime after Thanksgiving we would go to my Grandmother’s house and make Christmas cookies for the year. These pictures are from the December after my grandmother died.

Grandma would bake the cookies (starting around 4am sometimes) and all the grandchildren would decorate and eat them. Whatever was left at the end of the day would go out in big ziplock bags to the freezer in her garage where they would be rationed out through Christmas all the way to next year’s decoration. I’m not sure how long we ever made it but I have distinct memories of eating Christmas cookies in the summertime straight out of that freezer.

These are old cellphone pictures of one year back in my grandmother’s kitchen.
