I can just see your husband&#39;s face, holding that beheaded cookie. And your Aunt Lilly reminds me of my beloved Aunt Mary, who was my friend and champion. She&#39;s gone from Earth now but loved, loved, loved as much as the days she lived.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br />~CleoCleo Coylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-25916156336645916852009-12-22T14:00:03.709-05:002009-12-22T14:00:03.709-05:00LOL, Julie!

A family tradition that has delicious roots from way back. It doesn&#39;t get much better...<br /><br />Grill-man - LOL Too true. Of course, it doesn&#39;t help that my husband has a reputation for nailing food that one of us has set aside for later, or for a party, or to take to someone&#39;s house. (Three daughters and one wife. The poor man can&#39;t win!) We now label special stuff with &quot;Danger Will Robinson!&quot; and he wisely keeps his hands off.Julie Hyzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15601637878498393081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-6450833727269759282009-12-22T10:54:44.559-05:002009-12-22T10:54:44.559-05:00sigh... it is so easy for us dad&#39;s to get a bad rep.<br /><br />Love the story!A Year on the Grillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09104173871760979364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-44608606129818916432009-12-22T10:13:47.027-05:002009-12-22T10:13:47.027-05:00Thanks so much for sharing your Aunt Lilly&#39;s recipe, Julie! I think it&#39;s great that you&#39;ve had something fun to look forward to each year that reminds you of her. And now you get to carry on the tradition, too!
