We had a wonderful Christmas. We celebrated as a family early so we could make a trip to Memphis to spend time with my in-laws yesterday. It ended up a whirlwind weekend.....but very fun and memorable. And I'm glad to be HOME......and excited about sleeping in my own bed tonight. :)

I saved a bunch of the Christmas cookies I did last week.....to share with you after the holiday, because they were as many winter-related cookies as Christmas-related. And I needed a stash of photos to show you since I plan to completely CHILL from cookie decorating this week.....remember?? The last couple of weeks have been kind of stressful, and I needed a break to recharge for the new year.

Plus.....tomorrow I'm turning one year older.....and this is my way of celebrating. :)

I LOVE winter......love snow, love SNOWMEN!, love wintery hot drinks, love snuggling up in a warm house, etc, etc, etc. So expect to see all things winter related in these next few weeks (after my little "vacation" from cookies, of course!).

On to my winter hat and mitten collection............ I went a little CRAZIE, as usual. lol

Fun, fun, fun! My favorite is the red and white striped set. What about you.....do you have a favorite set?

I've got lots more wintery cookies to show you soon, so check back often.

Now it's time to CHILL.

(ha ha.....that's pretty funny when the whole theme of this post is wintery caps and mittens to keep WARM!)
