Personal Notes:
A buttery, sweet treat during the holidays that reminds us of Grandma Kanel. She used to spend every Christmas with us, along with Uncle Kay. I remember looking out the window while waiting for them to arrive every year. She was a beloved grandma and would bring treats and books for us.
