Random pics from the holidays

The wine for Christmas Eve dinner.....purchased at Freeman's liquor store. Yes, seriously.
(for any who don't understand the significance, my maiden name is Helfrich...so dad's last name was that, and his mom's maiden name was Freeman....so...yeah....kinda cool, or, as my brother put it, poetic!)

My mom's cookie press, received, appreciated vastly, and used almost immediately, mixing the batter in my grandma's "popcorn bowl."

They were a little pale, because I was afraid to add too much food coloring....but they smelled just like hers, and tasted just like hers. And I cried like a fool, giggling and sobbing in the same breath!!!
