My cookie party was a lot of fun and a great group of ladies showed up. I was amazed by the abundance of cookies that were contributed.

Raspberry Pinwheels
Sugar Cookies
Mulled Cider

Our friend Jeff is coming to visit this weekend and then my family is coming down Wednesday to begin our Christmas celebration!
