C is for Cookie


I can't remember exactly when our tradition first started, but it was born in the two-butt kitchen of an old apartment, long before any of these little ones came along.  Back then, the cookies looked a bit more polished --except for the boys' more, ahem, "creative" contributions-- and there were a few thousand less sprinkles on the floor at the end of the evening.   But we of course welcome our pint-sized helpers and the (frost-a-little-lick-a-lot) germs they bring to the party.










  Picture perfect, Molly.

 And now, anxiously awaiting the arrival of a certain Jolly Old Saint to sample the culinary masterpiece!...
