Vegas Red Hat Diva's Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap

Our chapter held it's 3rd annual Christmas Recipe Swap and Luncheon Sat. Dec 5th at my sister's home. We shared cookie recipes, chatted and held our first ever Christmas Cookie Bake Off. I appreciate all the help in collecting toys for The Shade Tree and baking extra cookies for the Men and Women of our Military. Such loving hearts and I am thankful for each and every one of them. We also had Queen Emma Sue and Marilyn join in celebration.  Here are a few pictures of our day.
