Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Hens and Roos]

rained here most of the day yesterday, so the goat's area is muddy again...

so after some discussion back and forth with DD....we will be adding at least Obie to our breeding list for 2019 kidding. She is 6 years old and we don't want to chance her not taking if we give her a year off. DD thinks I should breed Pepper as well....giving us 7 does kidding this coming spring....I haven't taken the time yet to see when our kidding dates will start...

fingers crossed that the 5 does we've put with the bucks are bred- will be watching for any returning to heat.

with the weekend being wet/cold/yucky... DS(16) put the tree up and DS(13) put the lights and tinsel on yesterday...tree looks interesting to say the least...sent DD a picture and she came back with "yikes"

started to make some of our favorite Christmas cookies...gingerbread, sugar, spritz to start! Will package and mail some to DD so she can enjoy too!

Well... now you've told us about it, and confirmed that a pic exists... When do we get to see your son's work?

So as requested @Latestarter, here are some pictures

Gingerbread cookies before baking

sugar cookies that DS(16) helped decorate

spritz cookies


DD was happy to hear that she would be getting some cookies mid week!!

OK, so non "traditional" garland placement... Doesn't look bad really... not at all! Might present a challenge if you want to hang ornaments though... Nice looking cookies!

 

[Hens and Roos]

not sure any of our tree decorating could be considered as "traditional" , he had fun doing it and that's cool! DD can figure out how to hang the ornaments when she get home for winter break!!

Those cookies are our favorites...probably end up making another batch of each!

Family time is the best time, no matter what the outcome of the days activities look like! Love the tree!

The tree looks full of love to me!

Those cookies look good esp the spritz.

spritz cookies

Curious. I know Spritz cookies through my DW and her mother. But they are thin ridged strips a bit over an inch wide. Other cookies are made that look like what you have here. You don't happen to have a Mirro cookie press do you?

We call them spritz cookies too, we use a cookie press. We are German/Polish and always have spritz cookies for Christmas every since i can recall. I've never seen ridged strips your mentioning.
