Christmas Cookie Exchange with Aunt Jess


Party Prep! My entire kitchen and nook was covered with Double Chocolate Linzer Cookies (with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry filling).



Of course we have to taste test. Yum. Notice they're at the little table. Mine was covered in cookies!!



Turtles. Thanks Nana Bethie for this yummy recipe!



Picking up Aunt Jess from the airport.



Chocolate Peppermint Martinis and champagne.



Some of the delicious treats included Cocunut Pecan Shortbread Cookies with Caramel filling, Chocolate Peppermint Thumprints, Peanut Butter Chocolate "Struw" balls, Coconut Macaroons, Frosted Sugar Cookies, Cranberry Pecan Bars. Of course I forgot to take a picture of my girlfriends and myself dressed up. Typical. As you can see, John's going to win some major points with his boss when his cookie tray is delivered Monday. Can you say pay raise? :)




Christmas with Aunt J. Maddie's first ornament. Jess always buys the girls an ornament. But they're a little bummed they have to wait til Christmas day to open the big gifts.





Saying goodbye to Aunt Jessica. We had such a nice time!! You're a lifesaver. You've done it all including being an aunt. "Now you can die!" in the words of Piper. xo
