Dear friday favorite things,
We have no snow.
I like having snow at Christmas.
Here’s a picture of me in last year in December
just in case you forgot what snow actually looks like.
Dear little boy who tries to sneak cookies,
I know that you ate at least eight cookies yesterday.
And I can hear your little
moh–cookies, momma
coming from your sweet little body.
Okay…just one more.
Dear little boy who likes to sneak the royal icing,
It is not butter.
I know you keep telling me the yellow one is butter,
but all that tasting that you’re doing won’t change it to butter.
Dear little boy who is in awe of the cookie decorating,
You are just too cute.
And yes, you may have one more cookie.
Dear Bob’s Red Mill and other gluten free flour manufacturers,
You really helped me this Christmas.
Even though it takes a blend of 3-5 different flours
you must know that
you must know that
my cookies taste great.

Dear gluten free sugar cookies,
Shhh…I like you better than the flour cookies that I made last year
that had gluten in them.
Yes, you took a bit more work, but oh my, oh my,
I’m like that little boy who needed
one moh cookie.
Dear Target,
Please have enough lanes open so that I don’t have to wait too long in line.
No picture, but definitely a favorite when there is no line. 🙂

Those cookies look amazing! I’m sure you don’t even miss gluten! Samuel and his skeaking are oh so very cute!
The high yesterday was 78. 78!!! On the first day of winter. I went on a run in shorts and a tank. On the first day of winter. It makes me kinda crazy. I like to be cozy and cold on Christmas. We need you to get some snow and then send us that arctic air blast. Pretty please!
Love ya!!! Merry Christmas, Martins! Hope our card arrived safely or will arrive safely! : )
I always love your Friday favorites! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Those cookies look delicious! You have such a beautiful family 🙂

Those cookies look good and your favorite thing list is so cute. Yes I have little ones steeling cookies here too!!! LOL. And gluten free can be SO good!!
We haven’t even gotten to the cookies…and we have decided to do Christmas on Christmas Eve for the sake of having a proper day of worship. Merry Christmas sweet friend!
I’d love to be there and have 1 moh cookie! Sweet Christmas blessings to you & your lovely family!
Ohhh I love that picture of you in the snow you look so pretty!!
We are going to be doing the cookies, toffee and goodies today!!! YIPPY!!!!
Cookies look so yummy! We are hoping for snow here in Virginia, but don’t think it will happen this year.
Tapioca Starch tip: Do you have any kind of Asian Market near you? I found that I can get my tapioca starch at our local Asian Market for about $.80/14oz rather than the $2+/12oz I was paying on Amazon.
I love those cookies colors, pretty pictures.
The photos you & your daughter capture are so precious!
I love the snow & shovel photo… You are so lucky to experience the season with snow! 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and your family.
rachel and hanna and the rest of your family:Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!i pray all your dreams for the new yr comes true
What sweet memories you are always making with your children. I love it!
Our daughter probably got enough snow in Kansas for you and them. She is really having to adjust to “life with snow and more snow.”
Thanks so much for your sweet comments. LIke you, I look forward to the day we can meet face to face. Christmas hugs to you!
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas! Thank you for all of your wonderful posts this year!
I loved making cookies this year, but how I wished we had some cute little ones likes yours helping. Maybe soon.
Oh your description of your son is so sweet and reminds me of my two sons! My 2 year old kept sneaking gingerbread men at our carol service – I think he must have eaten about 6!
Snow and cookies would be heavenly!
