Santa's Workshop

Today my cousin Kelly hosted a Santa's Workshop Wrapping and Cookie Exchange Party! Kelly went all out with treats and wrapping paper for everyone. There was a great mix of women there, and we had fun chatting and eyeing each other's gifts! We also did a cookie exchange where everyone brought 2 dozen cookies to swap. Everyone brought great cookies to share, now i have a super great variety! I made one of my favorite childhood cookies, Melting Moments, with pink and green frosting.

It's so gray and bleak on this December day, so here are Europe pics so we can all dream about escaping... even if its just for a few seconds.
