Christmas, 2016

 The letters to Santa that were prepared last year for the younger generation . . .

made an appearance this year in "Cubbie" blue for the kids. . .

 and as a surprise for one of the biggest Cub fans I know!

The family collection.

Christmas cookies that were sent to friends out of state.

Reindeer for the annual Women's Club Dinner.

 

Merry Christmas

one and all! 

Great-nephew, Elliot, was a pretty happy guy when he found his special cookie under his tree on Christmas morning.

 

Fall Cookies

New scarecrows and sunflowers. . .

. . . plus some traditional favorites for a fall bake sale.

While baking cookies this week, the Chicago Cubs were playing in the World Series.  Although I knew championship cookies would be big sellers IF our beloved Cubbies won the series, I was superstitious and just "couldn't count my chickens. . ."

As I am packaging the cookies I am watching the Cubs Parade to celebrate their World Series.  In addition, I continue to read all the amazing posts that people are sharing via FB regarding this special Chicago celebration.  A friend posted  a picture of the following cookies that he purchased at a bakery for $4.00 each!

Perhaps a prop will increase the price of my cookies at the fundraiser!

Fall 2016 will be a memorable one for all Chicagoans!

Go Cubbies!
