Laura, this video just melted my heart! It made me want to make cookies with my mom and sister who do not live close by. Your family is so creativeโฆ.loved your dadโs touches on the little tree! ๐๐
I loved this video. Family is everything & you can certainly see it is for you all. Ben-ja-Man!! You are too cute and so sweet! Canโt wait for the andrews decoration vid tomorrow! ๐โฅ๏ธ
yay! Can't wait for the tour
Iโm not saying this to make you sad. Watching this made me tear up. Iโve lost both parents and my siblings. I see the wonderful relationships you have with your family and wish they were mine. You are truly blessed and may God continue to bless you and your family in the days to come! Love your videos!!!โค๏ธ
Oh yum!!!!!๐๐๐๐๐ everything looks so good and beautiful ๐
Peanut blossoms were always my favorite untilโฆ I started making them with Reeseโs instead. The balls bake in a mini muffin pan and the Reeseโs get pushed down in at the end. So good!
You should reach out to kitchenaid.. what great fun!! Beautiful memories ๐ฅฐ๐
Such a fun time making memories, itโs the best of this time of year and year round too.๐ฅฐ
I made the ginger snap cookies this afternoon after watching. And they are seriously delicious and fluffy! Thank you!
The hanging baskets at the front of the store are beautiful with the ornaments!

ok Kitchen Aid (Whirlpool Corporations), that was a great plug for your product, mixer is over 30 years old!
๐๐hi, une trรจs jolie vidรฉo avec pleins de belles idรฉes ๐๐๐
Laura, you can send your Kitchenaid back to the factory, and they will fix it, and make it run like new for you. I send mine in (circa 1960's) every 10 years for them to go over, and make sure it stays in it's prime condition. It's not very expensive, considering new prices to replace them.
We call peanut blossoms peanut butter kisses, they are a favorite of our family I make them all the time! Thoes and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Yummy ๐
Laura, I was 12. Mom, Or 21. ๐
Wow, just Wow!!!!
I made Prolos (?) for the first and only time so far back in 2020. I'll be in the U.S. for Xmas this year so I'll make them again! I love caramel.
Always fun when you three girls are together!
Benjamin is not only sweet, but smart. He knew where all the goodies was going to be!!
๐๐๐๐บ๐บ๐ช๐ช
Yummy goodies!!!! Ben is too cute and excited! Love pumpkin bars, so much fun……creating family memories to last forever. If I lived near by I would come by your store eat ๐คฃand say hi ๐โ๐ช๐ฅฐ
Gosh can we get " Monica Monday "
Can you just follow her around Andrew's for the Monday show๐คฃ๐คฃ
Question: Why do you only dip one half of the pretzel in chocolate and not the whole pretzel? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
You ironed the top of the table cloth then covered it with the tea towels. Lol. Another beautiful Laura flower arrangement. Cookies are making me hungry.
I think this is what I see? But what size pan???

I typed the recipes into comments but please correct me if I made any mistakes. I am recovering from COVID (day 5) so not confident my eyes or brains is completely clear yet. Thank you. Course the sweets wont taste quite as delicious as from the food stained originals or the warmth and love filled kitchen in this video.
Incredible arrangement…..outstanding! And the family treat-making time is so fun and cosy. ๐
That Benjamin is a precious child who loves his mama. So sweet. All of your Christmas treats look delicious! Such a fun Holiday tradition you ladies are perpetuating. Your customers must really enjoy this.๐โจ
I was wondering if you could do a video on the hanging baskets down at Andrew's and/ or recreate something similar.
Will you be doing another Christmas decorating video this year?
Blessings and Health for YOU and YOURS๐ ๐๐
I can empathized with Monica, I lost a mixer to divinity candy.๐
The flower arrangement is spectacular! Love watching your family time together, itโs lovely and a real blessing. Happy Holidays๐๐คถ๐
Oh, what a sweet son you have โค.
I swear I learn something new from you every day! I would have never in a million years picked the Hollyhock seed heads for a filler. They bring such a beautiful outdoorsy look to the arrangement.
Loved this video such a lovely family Benjamin is so adorable spending time with family are precious
Wow I have a kitchen aid mixer as well.exactly like your mom's. I got.it when I was 19 and now 42 years later it keeps going. GREAT VIDEO your family is so fun. Thank you for sharing.
Love everything about this video! The sweet family baking together, sweet Benjamin, the fun music! I love baking with my daughters and grandkids! Just makes it feel like it's the Holidays! Thanks for sharing your family with us! Can't wait to see the Garden Center all decked out!
I always find myself smiling widely while I watch your videos ๐ today was an extra smilie one ๐๐ Benjamin, The joy and excitement you all had making treats to bless others , the gathering then the beautiful bouquet โค Thanks for bringing so much joy into the world.
I love this type of video & my daughter who is almost 8 loves seeing Benjamin! We love watching your videos together.
This was like a breath of fresh air. And Benjamin couldn't be any cuter. Thank you so much for sharing.
Recipe pleaseโฆJeweled Divinity.
Iโm so curious about what Laura did to her momโs tricolor beech! Please tell! Also was the container used for the beautiful arrangement one of the antiquing finds? It looks super familiar ๐
Have you considered helping Monica start a cooking channel? That would be so much fun!!!!
