On Sundays we’d have chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and glazed carrots. The single thing that would change was the sort of pie or sugar cookies that we’d have for desserts.  She made enormous batches  so we could share them with our friends. The children like to help frost and so does my husband.

This implies that I have many topping bags with multiple colors of the frosting. My work-mates ask me how I am able to stand the mess. I told them that I buy the plastic carrier bag topping bags and the inexpensive plastic topping tips. I also stock up on the plastic table garments from the dollar store. I believe that would be a fun event during the vacations that does not include giving gifts.
