Again, we are making teeny tiny cookies -- this time, sugar cookies, in all kinds of lovely shapes and sizes. I think they're just going to have to stay naked for the night. We'll frost them tomorrow ... which will probably take the last "oomph" out of us, as we also have to put ornaments on the tree & clean house for our big party on Sunday. My parents arrive at 3 pm. They are ultra-cool & will pitch in if needed. I am blessed: My parents rock.
