I have really enjoyed the pretty white snow everywhere. It is cold, but it has a feeling of peace with white everywhere.
Here is part of our backyard. This big yard is not common in Germany. Some people have no yards.
"Thumb cookies" my favorite at Christmas time!1/2 cup butter
1egg yolk (save the white part)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup of flour
Mix all together and form into balls, roll in the egg white you saved and then into chopped pecans. Push your thumb in the center of the cookie to make a little hole.
Cook for 20 min at 300 degrees. I sometimes double everything because this does not make much.
Top with homemade icing: little milk, powdered sugar, and spoonful of crisco.
It feels like Christmas!!
3 day til we leave for Florida!

SO much more "winter-like" than Florida! We'll be gone while you're here, so we probably won't see you - bummer. Hope you have a nice trip, though!
