Peppermint Cookies

     The holidays are so much sweeter when you have a baby of your own to share them with.  Wren has been a real trooper as we have dressed her up and brought her from one family gathering to another.  She loves people so she has been fighting sleep so she can keep up with everything going on around her.  She is such a sweet girl.  I couldn't love her more!
     I've been so busy enjoying being with Wren now that I am on vacation from work, that it has been hard to think of anything else...especially baking!  I did sneak in a couple of batches of cookies to bring along to some family gatherings this week.  These peppermint cookies were a huge hit and really easy to make.
