Decorating the tree and bakking cookies

Just wanted to share some pictures of our tree and a recipe for one of my favorite cookies/

Eiffel Tower ornament I made for Bob this year

when we are walking into the family room

The cross stitch ornament is a ornament I
received in an ornament exchange a few years ago.
The snowman was one of the 1st ornaments I
ever made.  I was probably in my late teens early 20s

This ornament is one I stitched this year.

This one was stitched and gifted to me by Sarah

The little ornament with the stockings I
received on a Christmas card from Barbara
and I made it into an ornament.

This is our little mouse band.  These were
part of my MIL's decorations.  I love them and
they come out of hiding every year
