Sprinkled with Sugar

Winter!  It arrived here in the northwest in a BIG way, with epic snow and ice.  We were lucky to miss most of it though and just by the skin of our teeth it seems, being on the outskirt of the storm as it swept through.  Still, we had our share of snow earlier in the week (above), and were bracing for the worst.  But by Sunday, it was back to this.  We actually had our kitchen door open for the first time in weeks.  The fresh air a welcome friend.  Especially so, with non-stop baking and midlife moments of, "Is it hot in here--or is it just me?"

I love frosted Christmas cookies!
We're literally buried in snow. We were right in the middle of that storm.

How appropriate to make frosted cookies when it's totally frosted outside.

We have snow too and more has arrived today! I think we are suppose to have more on Christmas day to. It's beautiful! Wishing you a Happy Holiday!

LOVE those cookies! They remind me of ones my grandmother used to bring at Christmas...sooooo good!...Alas, no snow here, just rain :( Merry Christmas to you and yours...

Your cookies look good. I was too lazy to decorate mine this year and daughter #4 wasn't really happy...as for the midlife thingy. I totally know what you mean. I'm forever putting on a sweater then taking it off and opening windows only to have someone close it on me...sigh. I can't wait until this will all pass.
I love the top picture and how the trees look.

Hi! The dear UPS man just delivered your BEAUTIFUL book to me today! I was in the middle of making sugar cakes so I carefully put the box to the side, finished up the dough and as it was rising, I tore open the box and sat down with your lovely work of art. Congratulations! I can't wait to get started!

Thank you for turning me onto Pandora and the Folk Holidays channel!

Just to say that I did check out the link and I very happily listened. I was asked to join after an hour or two, but that was no problem. What a lot of listening pleasure without having to change cds or listen to commercials.

The snow looks magical Vicki! Cookies look good too! I've been baking my heart out. I made a toffee recipe that has saltine crackers in it, but I didn't realize our saltines were jalapeno flavored until it was too late. Someone told me to save them for Cinco de Mayo. Merry Christmas to you!

I always enjoy visiting/reading/ogling pictures here at turkey feathers. Happy holidays to you and your family!

[Lena]

Those cookies are just as Christmas cookies should be, and I think they are perfectly charming. They remind me of many fond memories spent with my cousins, decorating cookies at my Aunt Ramona's kitchen table.

Merry Crhistmas to you and your lovely family Vicki!
