Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all my regular readers! Wishing you, your family and friends the best over the holidays.

A Coffield family tradition is painting Christmas cookies each year. It all started with an incredible women and family neighbor, Mrs. Martin, who lived into her 100s. Mrs. Martin collected cookie cutters (and I mean collected). Most draws in her kitchen were full of cookie cutters from around the world. Each year she would invite all the neighbor kids into her house to paint cookies with brushes and decorate them with what now seems like hundreds of toppings. A wonderful childhood experience. Watching it now with my own children and others who happen to stumble into the event is the way it brings out the creativity of people. Below are a few photos of this years artwork.
