[misfitmorgan]

Making baked goods for christmas presents has long been a tradition with my family. The usual are....

Date cookies(yes i too loved dates as a kid..still do, its not christmas without date cookies)
Cornflake wreaths (actually one of my favs)
Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies
Spritz Cookies
Mexican/Italian Wedding Cookies
Molasses Cookies or Ginger Cookies(soft variety)
Thumbprint Cookies

Non-cookie typical must haves:
Seafoam
Nut Clusters or Turtles
Chocolate Covered Ritz Crackers
Peanut Butter and chocolate Fudge
Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Now i dont like chocolate but the chocolate covered ritz i do like, something about the crispy crunchy slightly chewie texture. Most everything we have are "old" style cookies/confections.

Meanwhile....

Chevre! 11 lbs of milk turned into 4.5 lbs of CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!

We have 2 does left milking once a day.
We were suppose to make another batch today but got busy.

We will do the flavors tomorrow.

My one son loves the lemon chevre we make- literally will just take the whole container and eat it like it was ice cream. We need to take stock in Nabisco or something.

Happiness and joy are when you leave the house to run errands and visit friends and you return home to see your teenagers have taken it upon themselves to clean out the kitchen cabinets and get them organized again... the closet that was a catch all is now clean and organized, the throughway cleaned and orderly.

I think they have fun blasting the music and cleaning when I am not here, they always say Mom you need to go back out for a few hours... we can't get anything done when you're here!

So blessed to have such amazing people in my life!

oh, and DH will be picking up what I need for the tart and profiteroles

My feed store carries cobalt blocks. I put one out for my girls a few months ago and it lasted about 2 weeks. They seemed to enjoy it.

And then to my house? Mine are too young to be of much help, only 22 and 24
