I am so thankful for my family this year. I've learned that family can be friends and they make great ones at that.
It was a very good day filled with family, laughter, yummy food, and puzzles.
Also - the weekend was all cookies, cookies, cookies! Mmm to molasses, chocolate chip, icebox, Scandinavian ginger cookies, cracker cookies, almond bark, and no bakes. Mmm mmm mmm.
