Grandma’s Cookie Jar

It’sssssssssss cookie baking time! It’s a tradition at our house that several weeks before Christmas, the family bakes tons of sugar cookies–equipped with my Santa apronThis year we had an extra special jar to put them in when they were finished. My Grandma had given me her old glass cookie jar-the very jar we use to raid as children when visiting her house. It’s simply a glass jar with the word “COOKIES” printed in brown letters-simple, to the point….yet holds so many memories for me. Now we get to fill that very same jar with our own memories…in some strange way it’s almost like a time capsule.

Do any of you remember* this blog * from last year? I promise, no extra ingredients were added this time around! Tee he he

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season as much as we are. For some strange feeling-I seem to enjoy the holidays a leeeeetle bit more as an adult. I think because I get to watch my daughter go through the experience with bright eyes and wonder. It’s parental magic!
