Christmas Time Fun in the kitchen! Shortbread day!

Christmas Shortbread Day! 

We always forget the recipe, fight over the cookie press issues, then we pour ourselves a glass of wine ( Cranberry ginger-ale for the kids) 

We have a hierarchy of jobs- The cherry cutter and pan preparer at obviously at the bottom, then you can work up to the Mixer- then the decorator, and decision maker for the oven...

Then we always have to call my Grandmother to get the recipe.  You'd think we would know it off by heart  by now, but my mother and I have terrible memories and always second guess ourselves- we do NOT want to screw up our favourite cookies.

Mom is at the top of the hierarchy in the Shortbread process.

Alyssa normally has the decorating job- but she had hockey and was doing a little shopping, but the boy filled in nicely!  Serious face!

Someone got home in time from Hockey  to help out as well!

Obviously I am the supervisor!  ( aka- clean up and picture taker! )
