...Christmas cookies!

This year we decided to do a little more 

cookie-making than the last couple of years and 

we just had a blast!

(I had to come to terms with the fact that our

Buckeyes were NOT going to look like they do 

in the magazine!)

We were able to find pretzels this year and

state-side missionaries brought down 

candy canes to share!  It was a real treat!

We also enjoyed making "American" ornaments from a kit 

that was sent to us!  We attached them to plates of 

cookies and shared with our neighbors!  

The delivery went like this: once the boys and 

I were all ready and standing outside at our gate, 

my husband would pull a plate out of the 

freezer and we would all walk quickly to a 

neighbor's house...otherwise everything would melt! 

Next year we may have to do something a bit more 

Paraguayan but this year was a lot of yummy fun!
