We baked at Jackie's house as she has two ovens. It worked out great as we all had our assigned jobs for the day - however, we would often play a zone (like the basketball terms!) My job was definitely assigned as "the runner," that is, I had to run cookies up and down the stairs to Jackie's second oven in her finished second kitchen downstairs!
Here are Aunt Joy and Nana in the beginning of the day!
Poor Henry was feeling a little under the weather - kinda clingy (I was the lucky one he chose to cling too usually too - and I loved every minute of it!). He was feeling yucky, but this pic is one that I took when he first woke up, so he looks especially, well, NOT Henry like! :)
EVERYONE helped though...so we even put Henry to work! He LOVED watching his mom place the Hershey kisses in the cookies!
And enjoyed running downstairs with me to run the cookies!!!
Nana was a great scooper!
Turning this cookie dough...
...into some delish cookies!
Nana also kept track of all the cookies that we made - I think it was about 12 different varieties in total and the amounts! If I remember right, we made 24 dozen of these little buckeyes - the family favorite!
When the day was done we split the cookies between the three of us and Uncle Bryan! We all took TONS of cookies home and had such a great day together! I can't wait until next year to do the same!

The cookies came out great this year. I'm still eating them. My only complaint is there were no flourless dark chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. Those were my absolute favorite last year. I bragged about them all year to everyone and this year- zilch. Great photos of the cookies. I used them as a screen saver this christmas. Another comment- our kitchen was destroyed. I found flour, dough and chocolate for weeks on the cabinets, under the trash can, on the trash can, on a plate in the cabinet, just everywhere. Small price to pay for a crapload of good cookies though.
