Robin, we had another great cookie exchange this year. We started off with appetizers and conversation. It's always fun when the girls get together! Everyone pre-packaged their cookies to make gathering them easier and there were so many good cookies this year that it was difficult to choose a winner for best cookie.

The first place cookie won by one vote and two cookies tied for second place. I really appreciate the effort everyone put into baking their cookies. We had so much fun playing the reindeer antler game!

We also played "musical gifts" - I handed everyone a small wrapped gift and then we passed them around while singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". Whatever gift you had in your hand at the end of the song was yours to keep. It was so nice to relax and have a few laughs with family and friends. Have a great New Year, everyone!
