Christmas Cookies 2017 with Jeneve
Two weeks before Christmas, Jeneve came over with Tim, Margot and Maggie Rose.
We made sponge cake Petit Fors, Butter Balls, Cornstarch and cutouts.
Maggie Rose made about 5 cookies with me and then said, “I have to go upstairs, I think I hear Grammy calling me.” When she got upstairs shel told Gram that she was bored downstairs and wanted to watch a movie with her.
Jen made up boxes for friends and co-workers. She made 7 or 8 and then called next week to ask for 2 more.
