That is our assignment this week, to share holiday traditions. I love traditions and my son, Kyle, is hooked on them. This Sunday begins a whole week of special family traditions. Starting with the entire family meeting on Sunday afternoon to made cookies for Christmas. Everyone comes, sons and daughters, grandchildren, husbands, wives. It is our start of a week of festivities. All kinds of cookies are made, but the most fun are the individual sugar cookies that each person makes. Anything can be made and it has. It is a night of just fun and loving on each other. So it begins . . .
I have taken a few more pictures of Christmas tree pins. I hope to show you more before Christmas, if I can. I am more than half way done on my gift wrapping. Just 2 gifts left to buy and the table has not been set yet for the week. I have to get in gear. I am trying to do all this while following doctor's orders of NO STRESS! For those of you who might not have heard, Andrew went to be with the Lord. Please pray for that family. The despair and sorrow, must be unbearable during the holidays!
God bless you my friends, Martha

Aren't sugar cookies just the best? I love it because it can be anything we want. No rules. One of the fun things about being the baker.

Hi Martha. Your nite of cookie baking and making sounds like a lot of fun. Love all the Christmas tree pins. So pretty. Have a great week of festive fun. I've been over to give my condolences to Andrew's family. His mom left such a beautiful message about his departure from this earth -- hundreds have been there to leave well wishes. Absolutely amazing how others reach out in time of need. Blessings to yo and yours Dear Martha! Don't stress about anything. xoxoxo Tammy

How fun ..
We have friends that rent ovens and make their garage a cooking and decorating station and do it as a family.
I have had so many Google problems-and it isn't over-Google has no idea how to solve the problem.
Sorry I haven't been by much-I decided after weeks and weeks of non-stop Google issues, I am throwing my hands up and making much needed visits.
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas and hope you can come by for a visit. I will continue posting, even if it doesn't show up in the Reader.

A week of Holiday fun sounds great. I love your Christmas tree pins. Hope to see more.
Happy Pink Saturday.
Oh that sounds like so much fun, all working together and enjoying each others company. I love that. My daughter and I used to bake cookies together every year, but since the twins were born and are only 2, it's impossible right now. I hope we can continue when they are older, have fun and thanks for the lovely post, Happy Pink Saturday and Merry Christmas, see you in 2010, Char
Hi Martha....Lovely pins, lovely post. Traditions are wonderful, aren't they? We do many, many gingerbread houses here. Also, tons of cookies but not eating them is hard! Take care and remember, NO STRESS. Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com

Hi Martha,
I loved hearing about your family traditions.
We do the same with baking ~ we have made Christmas cookies and gingerbread men and I will make some fruit mince tarts.
My thoughts go out to Andrews family, may they find comfort.
