I’m trying my best to get through all of my Christmas errands this week. Tonight I divide up honey to give to the family. Bill and I gave each other a Roku box for Christmas (which conveniently arrived early). This magical box allows us to watch Netflix instantly on our tv. Right now, as I type this, I’m watching the Parapluie de Cherbourg. Streaming technology is a strange and wonderful thing.
I’m also enjoying a box of cookies that my mother made and sent up from Indiana. I post this to answer the same questions she asks every year:
Yes, the cookies arrived. Thank you.
No, none of them were broken!
Yes, we actually eat them!
And to prove it and show everyone what massive cookie makin’ skillz my mother has:
She made us a Cinnamon the Disapproving Rabbit cookie. Look at the fluffy white tail and the chocolate icing she made to get Cinnamon’s coat just right.
She also makes a pretty cool bald eagle–again with home made chocolate icing! Very nice.
Oh no! Cookies running amok! The eagle is trying to steal my disapproving bunny! Run, Cinnamon, run!
Alas, the eagle got the bunny and I had to step in and reestablish my top position on the food chain. Gr.
And that concludes this portion of Cabin Fever Theatre.
See, mom, we do enjoy your cookies.
So glad you could re-establish your dominance in the pecking order in such a delicious manner. No crumbs in the keyboard, now.
This is as good, no…Better, than any JibJab e-movie! If you can’t have fun with family, who can you have fun with! Merriest of Holidays to you!
LOLOL; TOTALLY made me think of the ‘Eagle stealing dog’ scene in ‘The Proposal’. I laughed till I cried. Then I thought of ‘There was a cute woman who lived in Minnesota??? “but I couldn’t make anything rhyme with that! You didn’t eat Cinny’s ears first??? I imagine you’ll have disapprovals galore in short order!
Fabulous post!
What an awesome way to start my day!
Still chuckling! LOL
Those cookies are fabulous! Your mom does good work!
Just wondering if you’ve checked out Cute Overload today… there’s a little injured bird, relearning how to fly, in a harness!

Nice. she used edible ball bearings for the eyes. I love this planet.
Thanks for the head’s up on the Swift Therapy! Love Cute Overload!
My mom does make some mighty tasty cookies! The edible ball bearing were my favorites when I was a kid. I seem to recall that they came in different sizes back then. I liked to use them when icing little tree cookies.
I think the eagle cookie is the most beautiful. Happy happy holidays.
I love how the painting of Cinnamon is watching you over your shoulder, silently judging your shenanigans!
and it’s a good thing that bald eagles have been de-listed, otherwise you might be looking at a hefty fine!
Okay, this is awesome!
Your Mom shows her love for her daughter by baking “Bird” Christmas cookies! You are one very fortunate daughter.
That’s way over the top! Way to go Mom ! ! !
Cabin Fever Theater…that’s hilarious! Merry Christmas! Enjoy your roku.
Your cookies look good and enjoy them and the holidays. Moms can be the best.
