The week before Christmas, we set out on our annual cookie-delivery drive! I honestly have to say, I wish I could share these with everyone… both locally and our family farther away. So, if you’re reading this and didn’t get a plate, know how much I truly wanted to bring you some. It’s just only physically possible to do so many.This year, I made many of the same classic recipes I’ve used in the past (why change a good thing?), which included:
gingerbread cookies
Michigan fudge
chocolate-chip cookies
candy cane kiss cookies

We delivered 16 plates, so not quite as many as last year, but still a respectable number. I love seeing all the plates come together- it makes all the hours of baking feel worth it!We always have to wear some silly holiday hats! I honestly hope that the girls never get too old for this or think it’s “uncool”, because this is one of my favorite parts of delivering the cookies. We were a hat short this year, and I didn’t have time to make another reindeer, so I picked up an elf hat at the dollar store for Kaya earlier that afternoon.Because it takes a long time to get everyone in and out of their car seats, we take turns going up to the door and dropping off the cookies. Kaya and Kaelyn kept begging for it to be their turn, so we tried to switch off at each house. I really love how much they enjoy giving these homemade gifts.

Maybe in the future, when they’re older and can do their own seatbelts, we’ll have to add some Christmas caroling to the tradition!
