I cant believe it has been 10 years already. Haley (in the back with black shirt and polka dots) was just 6 months old when we started our cookie baking tradition. I remember sitting at the table holding her and trying to feed her off the table while her mom wasnt looking. This is a day we all look forward to in my family (except the men because we make them leave). We enjoy having our mother , grandmother, sisters, and children all to ourselves. Some of the cookies and candies that we make every year are wedding cakes, peanut butter balls, sugar cookies, Chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge and white chocolate drops with pretzels, m & m's and peanuts. (i dont know what they are called). We had two casualties this year Haley burned her arm on a cookie sheet then not 2 min. later Gracie burned her arm on the same cookie sheet. Picture 2 is of them showing their marks.

We store all the goodies till Christmas Eve then get them out at my Grandparents and enjoy them for the next several days.

We are looking for a couple of recipes if anyone has anything for English Toffee, or any kind of toffee and Turtles please let me know
