Favorite childhood memory: When I was younger, every year around Christmas we had what was called our ‘Christmas Cookie Bake-off’.  All the women in my family would go to my grandma’s house, and we would bake cookies the entire day. We talked, laughed and made a mess out of her kitchen, but it was a great time!  We always ended up with some not-so-good cookies and super full stomachs, but it is one of my favorite, happiest memories from childhood.
