Christmas Cookies

December 16, 2008

Today I was the lucky one and got to tend my grandkids for the day! I love the fact that they are so close I get to tend.



While Talmage was at school and Sawyer was napping, Laine and I decided to make sugar cookies for Santa and her Daddy, and anyone else that happens to drop by (hint, hint). Things were going along great until the bowl on my Bosch mixer fell apart!! I can't believe it would break the week before Christmas, it's only about 20+ years old!! But we continued....doing it the old fashioned way...by hand! Laine is really alot of help!

Laine rolled and cut out lots of cookies, especially little gingerbread boys and girls! They will be really fun to frost!?


Sawyer loved being able to help too! and he is really alot of help!:)


Marie and Talmage came after Talmage got home from school, so now it's his turn to create. He seems to like the gingerbread boy, especially the small one! (might have to hide the little cookie cutters before next time?)


Now, for the fun part!! Frosting and sprinkles and decorating...we had LOTS of fun with LOTS of sprinkles...and lots of taste testing!


Look at our finished cookies!! You are all invited for cookies.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
