Last night was our annual cookie swap - one of my favorites evenings of the Christmas season. It is when the Iron Roses, along with a blossom (daughter of a Rose) come together for food and fun. Here's the drill: First we ate soup and BLT wraps (of course, priorities you know) and then I decided this year we would play a few games. Oh, my goodness. Do you know what it is like when you get a few 40/50 somethings in a room together playing games? First, one has to get her glasses out, then one has to go to the bathroom and then the next one needs a fan. It was too funny! We played the right/left gift exchange game and Christmas Bingo (that's when we decided we were officially getting ready for the old folks home!). Then the much-anticipated gift exchange game where you draw numbers and choose a gift either unopened or from another person. We used to be nice - last night? not so much. But, no punches were thrown or hair pulled, and everyone left happy. Seriously, this group of women could have fun together if we were stuck on a rock.
Then, of course, the reason we came . . . the cookies. This year we packaged our cookies in individual containers to exchange. It was so fun to see each of the ladies creative ideas. Thought you might enjoy this too.
Also, if you are interested in the recipe for Sante Fe Soup or Cowboy cookies, link over to our business website and click on the blog tab.

This is a vegetable can one of the ladies painted - amazing!
Have a great weekend!
