This is a holiday tradition here. It takes three days to make these--one for the dough, one for the cutting and baking, and this, the final day, for the decorating!

Our cookies are kid made--angels have odd shaped eyes, stockings have mounds of stars on them--but we love the process and love the memories that it creates and brings to mind!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! May love and peace fill your heart all year round!

The woman in the black vest is the school music teacher (in charge of the evening's program).
Here is Alia playing "Jingle Bells".

Merry Christmas...we are starting to decorate the house.

















The kids were ecstatic to see the wooden menorah set again. Elena has been cooking latkahs (and adding noodles--go figure!) all week!
