In my last post, I told you that we were about to do Cookie Day here.
I thought I'd share some of the fun with you.
You'll have to come by to share in the sweets.
I have lots and they are really are good!
They are such fun and I love spending time with them!
Here's Nana showing Emmy and Jack how to roll out the gingerbread.
Emmy & Jack rolling in the dough.
Then comes the decorating.
Emmy's masterpiece...
and Jack's.
I didn't get pictures of all the cookies, candies and snacks.
Needless to say all didn't get packed up and we had more than our
day's quota of sugar!
To top off the weekend, this is what we woke up to this morning.
An unusual sight in NC!
The snow was so pretty but then turned to sleet and now rain.
It's a COLD rain. Hopefully it's not freezing on trees and power lines.
I think I'll go get a sweet treat.
Thanks for sharing our fun day with me.
Enjoy!
Guess what! I was just looking for recipes on the Internet when I saw your blog post appear. Looks like you've all been having lots of fun. I have been looking for fat free and sugar free cake/cookies. DH is in hospital and the doctors want him to eat more, but it has to be fat free and sugar free. They've given him plain almonds (and dry toast), but there's only so many almonds you can eat in a day. I think I have found the perfect recipe, so I'll try making that tomorrow before driving to the clinic to see him. Hopefully DH will be released from hospital in a few days.

Cookie Day looks like it is a lot of fun and yummy! Thanks for sharing the pics. Fun and food with family is so good this time of year.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun, happy, memory making time. Great to see the grands learning cookie making skills and with a "sweet" outcome. That looks like Indiana kind of snow. For once it passed us up but it is very cold. Stay safe and snug.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a fun time cooking and what a lovely surprise to wake up to all that snow! TFS the photos. xx
ReplyDeleteFun, Fun, FUN!!!! That looks like so much fun - plus you had help cleaning it all up too. I know they cookies were delicious.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the snow picture too! Beautiful.

Oh, yum! [Bunny]`````````
ReplyDeletelooks like everyone is having a great time :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Bonnie - bet Emma and Jack had heaps of fun, our two love to stand on chairs at the kitchen bench and help... especially licking the spoons. Gorgeous snow scene, we've had rain all day here that at last has broken the heat wave, love fresh 28F at present.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun Bonnie! That snow looks gorgeous too, although we are pretty warm over here, would probably tire of it if it was like that all the time, but sooo pretty! Cathy x
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun was had by all Bonnie! Love the kiddo's rolling and decorating-they did a great job! Wow, that is a lot of snow for NC, I saw where y'all could have gotten up to a foot of snow! You are experiencing the North's weather. lol I hate when we get mixed bag of weather or just ice. Snow is ok as you can still get traction in snow but get that freezing rain and sleet in and it because a slick mess in no time. Hope you don't have to go out in it and hope your roads are clear soon! Snow is beautiful to look at when it is pristine and undisturbed isn't it?! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to spend time with family. Looks like everyone enjoyed making cookies. According to Jack, they were finger-licking good! :) You have some master cookie decorators on your hands. Wish I could drop in for a cup of tea and some of those yummy gingerbread cookies! That's a lot of snow overnight. Snow is so pretty ... it's the most CAS weather. :) But I don't like the sleet and slush that happens once it warms up ... yuck! It's a good excuse to stay home and play in your studio with a cuppa and cookies! xx
ReplyDeleteYum!! Great pics...looks like a fun time.

It looks like you had a wonderful time together. I bet those cookies were good. They look yummy and I am sure Emmy and Jack enjoyed them. The snow looks beautiful, but I know it doesn't stay that way. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful Christmas card.
And to think - we are leaving Florida to move back to North Carolina - I do miss snow!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun - making cookies with grandma -- your pictures are fantastic!!
Sandy xx
Looks like it was a FABULOUS day Bonnie and I would definitely stop by for a treat if I lived closer! :0)
ReplyDeleteBonnie, Family fun is the BEST fun...was lucky here in Norfolk...we only got rain and still raining today...Stay safe and hopefully you won't lose power from freezing. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to be able to have your Grandchildren join in your cook day. As for the snow? WOW that is quite deep for this time of year?

So much fun (and so delicious)! Your snow is very pretty but hopefully you won't get any nasty freezing - ice is so treacherous.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your family baking cookies together. Also got a kick out of how much sugar the kids like putting on the cookies (grin). How fun is this and what a great time they are having!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Bonnie for sharing your Cookie Day! I loved seeing the photos of the girls and the grands. Reminds me when our kids were young and we always made LOTS of sugar cookies and ginger bread boys & girls for decorating:-) Now I do a lot of baking to mail to our kids even tho they still bake for their families. Never can have too many goodies at Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteTFS my friend. Merry Christmas. Hugs..Nancy
BTW, no need to share your cold wet snow...ugh!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your wonderful photos and your special day. How cute are Emmy and Jack? You all look you had so much fun and Wow to the photo of the snow x.
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie what a fabulous day you must have had - never mind the sugar :) - it's not an everyday occurrence. It looks as though Emmy and Jack also had a ball.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, and keep warm
Maxine

ReplyDeleteI loved this post, Bon-Bon! I can't believe how big everyone is! To me it's most noticeable with little Jack! Aack, time goes by too fast!! Thank you for sharing all the blessings of Cookie Day and the first snow of winter!! 🎄Happy Holiday Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful day just having fun with the family and making some yummy cookies too Bonnie. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and also creative 2019. x
