Every year, since I can remember, I've made these sugar cookies at Christmas time. My sons and I have so many memories with these sugar cookies. My boys liked them so much when they were little, I made them their own sugar cookie Christmas tree. Their sugar cookie Christmas tree had individually wrapped sugar cookies hung all over the tree. It really was special. Each year, we would bake and decorate them together. Well Bryan baked and Hoy taste tested. When my Bryan got older, he started making them with his family. Pictured below, is Bryan when he was eight years old, making Christmas sugar cookies. This photo had become so popular within our family his wife recaptured it for me when he was forty. That's why I love cooking. There are so many memories around the food we cook and enjoy with our loved ones. Precious memories I cherish and keep close inside my heart.  Let's get to recipe, before I have to get the tissue out.  What You Need: 3 Cup...

Even our babies live extravagantly on the Morgan Family Farm. I home make their treats for them and they love me so.  Did I mention, these treats have been tasted by our cowboy friend, while visiting the farm? He says they're tasty. We shared one of these dog treats with his dog named 'Girl Dog', but not before he'd popped one in his mouth. "Wow! How was it?", I asked. "I don't feed my dogs anything I don't eat." he seriously replied. It's always a good time on the farm.

It's fall at the Morgan Family Farm. Lots of preparations going on for the, soon approaching, winter months. My Billy is busy preparing the food plots for the deer and cattle. The hunters are coming. In-between baking and decorating, I've been helping My Billy herd the cattle up to the front of the farm. Speaking of cattle, I would like to introduce to you our newest member of the Morgan Family Farm. Without further ado.....Boomerang. Boomerang is a May Bull calf and has tons of promise, especially when you consider that he combines two of the hottest individuals in the Red Angus breed in his pedigree with Signature and Lois 7U.  He will be roaming with the ladies in early spring.  Go Boomerang, also know as Boomer. We might be Sooner fans. Well that was a nice sidetrack, back to the recipe.
