Remembering

Today I'm thinking about the boy's and how much I miss them being little/younger. I was the type of Mother who never wished the time away although I would "sometimes" wish a birthday or two away..just so I could have another year with them. I remember "snow days" when school would be called off {I was sometimes more excited than the boys} On wet cold snowy or rainy days; they would rush through the front door, change into dry clothes and curl-up on the couch with some homemade warm chocolate chip cookies. a glass of milk or hot chocolate....I always had "something" ready for them. Oh how I loved those times, just thinking of them brings a tear to my eyes and I'm so very thankful for each of those days.
I'm also thankful for the ones I have today..I'm still with the man of my dreams whom I met when I was just 14! Being able to share all the memories we've had and continue to make. I'm very lucky- and I realize that.
Anyway....sitting in my kitchen looking through the snow globe, "yes..it's snowing hard" I thought I would share "THE BEST" Sugar cookie recipe with you. ENJOY!!!
