These photos were taken during the week leading up to Christmas. Note the one with the fall arrangement still on the table with the Christmas decorations. I never did get that replaced with something a bit more winter themed.
Spritz were the ONLY cookies that were baked before Christmas. They wouldn't have made it if I didn't have help from my niece, Megan. She and her family are visiting from California. Her mom Linda, helped us with mixing up dough for sugar cookies and pepparkakors. Neither of those cookies are baked, YET! My helpers are now back home in warm southern Cal. The cookie doughs are still in the fridge. Perhaps tomorrow I'll bake them???
It turned really cold yesterday and we had a good freeze last night. More of the same tonight. I'm afraid to look at my plants outside under their blankets. The mountains were lovely with the dusting of snow. But this is Tucson and in a couple of days the temperature should be back above freezing once again.
