It's the final countdown to Christmas darlings and today I am spending the afternoon down at my parent's house baking cookies with my mom.  As a little tribute to both of my grandmothers who passed away this year, my mom and I decided to bake a couple of their specialty Christmas cookies...my Nana's raisin filled and my Oma's pfefferkuchen.  It will be a sweet little reminder of them this holiday season.  That's about all for now as I am up to my elbows in sugar and chocolate.  


Best wishes with all your baking, wrapping, and decking the halls!
Love & Christmas Cookies,

    Aww thats very sweet that you baked those cookies in memory of your grandma's. I absolutely love this Christmas themed look, the striped red sweater and green skirt are PERFECT together.
    I am so flattered that I inspired you to wear some plaid! I plan to influence everyone into wearing it ;)

    What a great--and fun--way to honor your grandmothers. Christmas baking is always the best. I'm thinking about whipping up some cranberry orange bread as we speak...

    Love this outfit!! Love! LOVE! ok I'm done geeking out! I think it's fantastic that you're honoring your grams with cookies, mine is thankfully still alive but far away and it felt amazing to bake some of her famous cookie recipes myself for the first time ever! Happy Holidays!

    I love this look! You do color so well and I think that's why I love your style! You might be the only other person to rock colored tights as much as I do!

    That's so sweet to bake in honor of your grandma! I want some cookies!

    Awwww! That is too freakin' sweet. I am sure your grandmothers were smiling down at you while you baked their cookies. Your beret is darling, and I adore the bow. I love your nautical shirt too! And your blue tights are gorgeous. Such a bold color!

    I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
