Sending You Holiday Wishes & Mickey Gingerbread Cookies

Wow, it is one day from Christmas, where has the time gone. Tomorrow I won’t be posting as all three of my girls will be home and we will be spending time together as a family. Christmas took on a whole new meaning about three years ago when my dad was slowly slipping away from us in a hospice facility. Where I used to work through the holidays now I am intentional on the time that I spend with my girls and my family because you never know when it will be the last one. 

So I hope you and yours have a very Mickey Holiday and enjoy this Gingerbread Mickey Holiday cookie recipe. I wish I could send you one in the mail but I can’t but at least I can send it virtually.
