Cookies for Santa

I've been baking all day while listening to the gentle thrum of my mom's sewing machine as she finishes a quilt.

I made a Buche' De Noel for desert tomorrow and of course lots of cookies for Santa! Tomorrow is the big day! I can't even begin to describe the excitement I see in Rowan's eyes when she talks about Santa... this is gonna be so fun.

So glad daddy got home in time to help with Santa's cookies! Smile!


Ummmm please disregard the "adult" natured cookies in the top left... (ps.. Barney started it!)


The extra special cookie Rowan made just for Santa


My Buche' De Noel (yule log). yes I'm aware it looks like a giant turd but aren't those meringue mushrooms to die for?
