Hi Chris and Holly Everything looks so good. The cookies look really good. I have been hungry for sugar cookies but just to lazy to make them!! It is snowing and blowing here today as we are in the middle of a snowstorm that is coming off the lake. It is supposed to end this afternoon and so far we have about three inches of new snow on the ground. It is cold here this morning--only 16 degrees but with the wind chill it feels like single digits. I can't wait for spring to arrive with warmer temperatures and an end to the snow. Have a great Saturday and enjoy the weekend. Hugs-Debbie John Mya and Allie
