14th Annual Cookie Exchange!!

As I always say -- it is not the Christmas season for me if I don't host my annual Cookie Exchange.  I can't believe it has been 14 times!!!  I must start planning something special for next year!!

Here are the cookies that we each get to take home -

They wouldn't all fit on the Christmas covered bed -

What do we do at the Cookie Exchange?  We eat --

We visit & have fun --

And, we all take home one of each of these -

This year I made Nut Rolls for everyone -

I had them already to go in the freezer since the Cookie Exchange was a couple weeks before Christmas - in case anyone wanted to 'save' them -

Here they are before being wrapped.  You could click here for the recipe -

We always take a group photo -

And a 'YaYa' photo -

Lucy was not too enthused with everyone here.  She is used to a quieter home so she was not on her best behavior.  She pretty much stayed under the tree and growled!!!!  She didn't hide - she stood her ground as she is indeed the Queen!

We must start having more people over so she gets used to more company!!!!
