One of the most popular posts we’ve ever shared here at Let’s Get Together was all about making your own KOOB (the best lawn game, ever, but really).

Then we would start oozing out from all sides of the car with small tokens in hand, ready to wish someone a “Merry Christmas.” I love Christmas…
How to Make a Family Cookbook
Last year, the girls and I had what we thought was a pretty rockin’ idea for mom’s Christmas gift. We would put together a family cookbook-a compilation of the classics-the things we eat at Christmas and on birthdays-the recipes handed down with love (and vague instructions) from great grandmas.
