I learned a lot from my Mom in the kitchen over the years........and now that she is retired, she can come out to the farm, anytime.......
(we call this our "cookie commercial" photograph)
but this time it was for some cookie baking........
Mom likes things traditional, and well, so do I.....(isn't she hilarious? - so cute)
Looks like you all had a great time!

ReplyDeleteYour pictures look awesome!! This is a great way to show some homespun goodness!! Your children and mother look SO happy and the cookies are SO cute. It brings back many memories of baking (well decorating and making a huge mess) with my mother and sisters.
I love seeing your kitchen in the background of the pictures. I love it. And yes...make a puzzle!

The first photo sure brings a smile! You all look so joyful. And the cookies look delightful! ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteHoly Smokes...my jaw about hit the floor when I saw that table/island of yours!! It is incredible! And you mom is stunning too. How lucky you are that your kids have their grandmother there...they look so happy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, I love what you've done with them! The puzzle is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your cards so much. I realize you included envelopes to give them away but they are hanging on my living room mirror. I couldn't part with them!
Enjoy your weekend, we have some baking planned as well.

ReplyDeleteOh, Anne Marie! Your children are SO fortunate to have your mom around. What a blessing to be able to share happy times like these. They will never forget the memories you are making right now.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures take me back to a "happy place" when my own children were young, and I think I will stay in that happy place for a while today.
Anne Marie, your mom looks so young! Looks like old fashion fun for one and all.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun...treasure those baking days with your mom...I love to bake with my mom....she makes a mean apple pie. Your cookies look amazing..you can send some my way.
