cookies from oma

we just got our christmas cookies from my oma. it takes her four days to bake all the cookies from scratch and they are so delicious. every year she says it's her last year making them, but so far she has kept the cookies coming. matt and saige and my dad all like her jelly cookies the best and dig through the cookie tin to get to them first. luckily, i like the butter cookies the best and have no fierce competition. my oma made a special nut free batch of butter cookies shaped like ducks for beckett. he loved them, of course. who wouldn't? a monster maybe. beckett also got some kinder chocolate, but only beckett because he is the only kinder these days. sad. (i still ate some of it, don't tell my oma.) it was very exciting to get to share oma's cookies with beckett. really, i probably need to learn to bake these things myself, but they would never turn out as good. i think they need a grandmother's touch. thanks for the cookies, oma! we loooove them.
