Christmas goodies

Dear Gage,

Each Christmas season, your Dada and I make lots of Christmas goodies to give out to our friends and family. It's our special way of celebrating with everyone. It can be a lot of work, but we really enjoy preparing all the sweet treats. This year we made the usual, but added a few new sweets. We made buckeyes, Oreo bark, Peppermint bark, Snow Clusters, Ritz sandwiches, chocolate covered pretzels, shortbread cookies, bourbon balls and the newest thing - Oreo balls. I made two different varieties, regular and golden. The treats were a big hit and everybody loved them.

On Saturday morning, we made our traditional sugar cookies with Madeline and Jett. You were able to help with these by cutting out cute little Christmas shapes. We made angels, trees, stars, stockings, snowmen and candy canes. All the goodies turned out really well and there was fun to be had by all!

I love you,
