Personal Notes:
These are the cookies Grandma Grace made for our family every year at Christmas. We continue her tradition today - Regan and Risa have helped me since they were young, and now the other girls (and boys, too) in the family help each Christmas. We talk about Grandma Grace and remember her fondly when we enjoy her treats.
