Today was a day of of parties - holiday parties that is ... Both boys had their school parties today and then we had our own. I decided to have a cookie decorating and holiday tea. The kids had a blast. I made many many many sugar cookies the day before and layed out the icing, and jimmies and chips to decorate them. I served lemon ginger and sour cherry scones and tea sandwiches - olives bread with goat cheese and smoked turkey, olive bread with goat cheese and cherry preserves, brown anise bread with sharp white cheddar and ham, and pb and j cut out with snowman and gingerbread cookie cutters. Everyone had a great day - I am exhausted but it was totally worth it! Some great memories to be sure.
