HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
Last Saturday was our annual family Christmas Cookie Day. A tradition started 20 years ago. I love getting together every year, even though 1 handed, I am pretty much a spectator. It was wonderful that so many of the grands and great-grandchildren were there to join the fun with GG. Throughout the day, all but 5 of the 23 great-grandchildren made an appearance, along with at least one of their parents. Not all made the picture below. My mother-in-law and sisters-in-law do the heavy lifting, preparing the doughs, baking the cut-out cookies so they are ready for the kids to frost, and making sure we have everything we need to make the day a great success. I am so blessed to have them in my life.

They have officially grown out of their aprons.
Sunday, Mr. Dollycas, Daughter #2, and Korbyn took a road trip for Remi’s first basketball games of the Recreational Season. This also put Daughter #1 in the coach’s seat. They lost the 1st game, won the 2nd game 44-36, and won the 3rd game 33-16. Remi had a good day. Papa remembers he had 14 points in the 2nd game, 10 points in the 3rd game, and “a ton of rebounds”. This Nana stayed home to work on blog tours. 🙁
During the week, we added about 5 more inches of snow, and an icy cold front moved in for the weekend. We are sitting at ZERO degrees with a note that the wind makes it feel like -11 as I type this on Saturday afternoon. We are supposed to be back in the 30s on Tuesday.
