Christmas Cookies

I baked Fruitcake Cookies tonight, these bring back a lot of memories for me. My Grandma baked them every year and gave them out to a lot of family members who cherished her baked goods. It brings back memories of childhood and being in her kitchen which always smelled so good. I remember sitting on her yellow chair that was also a stool and helping her measure and mix things up. I remember her humming while she baked for days on end. I remember her laugh and how much love she showed all of us.

I bake these cookies every year in honor of her and that happened to be Ted's favorite cookies too. Tonight when I was making them I was a little sad as I remembered my Grandma and not having Ted here to snatch the first dozen as soon as they came out of the oven. He wouldn't even let them get cool first....lol. I am going to do my best to survive this Christmas and try not to miss him too much.
