My Rusty doesn't even notice our Christmas tree. Your quilt looks fabulous in your Dad's chair. Do you share your family sugar cookie recipe? Like you, I've never made them from scratch. We're die hard Chocolate chip cookie fans at my house. Hope that you and your family have the very best holiday ever!!!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429702283826931866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-53458136703238247982010-12-21T08:13:31.362-06:002010-12-21T08:13:31.362-06:00What a wonderful picture of your dad.

Naughty...better not let Santa see. I love that you collect cookie jars and don't put cookies in them. Although, let's be honest, how often do homemade cookies last long enough to keep in a jar? <br /><br />I struggle giving my favorite quilts away. I just always make sure it's going to someone I love and who I will see often, so I can have visitation rights. Nothing feels better than going to a friend's house and seeing them use a quilt you made.Allysonhttp://fatcatquilts.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-90335233434487099772010-12-20T12:53:23.683-06:002010-12-20T12:53:23.683-06:00Yummy looking cookies and that Cooper.

That photo of your dad with the Christmas quilt is precious! He looks pleased as anything with it. Your family must think you are amazing! <br />And now you have done it. I TOLD you I had given up holiday baking, and now that I see your decorated sugar cookies, I can see that I am going to be baking them too. I have the day off on Wednesday, so that is what I will do. I bet my kids will be thrilled, even if they are all grown up.<br />Merry Christmas to Cooper too!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440749267288259866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-82088360542620463372010-12-20T10:46:16.396-06:002010-12-20T10:46:16.396-06:00Thelma, Thank you so much for sharing your family ...Thelma, Thank you so much for sharing your family fun with us. The picture of your dad is really great. My dad would have loved the fact that I make quilts and he would have been totally excited to have one. When I would struggle with what to give someone as a gift, he would always tell me..."Don't try to figure out what they want. Give them something that you would love for them to have." He was very wise, LOL. We had my grandson's 22nd birthday dinner here last night and that will be just about the end of our family get together for this holiday season. Oh, they will all stop by on Christmas Eve or Christmas as they make the rounds to everyone they want to visit and that will be great. BUT...my upstairs is filled with carpenters today and tomorrow and fireplace installers the next couple of days! Everything from upstairs is 'neatly' (for a change) stacked downstairs so there is no tree. The gifts have been given out to open at their homes Christmas morning, there is just no place here to gather this year. I do have my only Holiday table topper made a few weeks ago out on the coffee table downstairs and a small Nativity, but that's it. NEXT year though, with the new (to me) upstairs and fireplace and room for a wonderful tree I will definitely have a family gathering. As for the sugar cookies, oh my gosh, they are my favorite of all time and yours look just perfect. I prefer them with just light decorations and no icing so you hit the bullseye with yours. If I lived closer, I'd run over and ask for one, LOL. I didn't realize that Cooper was a Christmas gift! I love the two photos, LOL. He out grew the tree skirt but not the fun and cuteness. Thanks again for sharing. Have a most Blessed and Merry Christmas.

It keeps our gifting muscles all loosened up too! That is the cutest picture ever! At least he's consistent!
