DADDY RICK MOLASSES COOKIES!

There are many reasons to look forward to Christmas.  And molasses cookies at the O'Hare household is one of them.  Aaron's Granddad Jack used to make these cookies, unfortunately I never got to know him. So these cookies bear only Aaron's Dad's name.  Daddy rickies, is also acceptable.

We had friends over tonight for a bonfire in our driveway. I was going to say "courtyard", but really it's the parking lot.  That's okay.  It was still awesome.


We drank wassail and sang carols around the fire.  It was really nice.  I loved the way I smelled when I came back in the house, and how my face stayed warm for a long time after I left the fire.
