Christmas Cookies

This year we continued the tradition of decorating Christmas cookies with my Mom & Grandma. They came over the evening of the 20th and we spent a couple of hours decorating cookies! I had made the dough the day before and rolled out, cut out, and baked the cookies earlier in the day. It was getting pretty late when we finally got down to the decorating so the kids got to pick two cookies to decorate before they went to bed since it was a school night. It was lots of fun and they turned out yummy - as usual :o) The hardest part was making them last until Christmas!!
Nana with Patrick & Benjamin
Nanny helping Gracie with her cookie and Papa was overseeing the process. I think he was just hoping that a decorated cookie was going to fall into his hand!
Mmmmmmm - frosting :)
Emma got to enjoy the finished products - she wasn't much help in the decorating though.
Patrick & his gingerbread man.
Grace was very proud of the cookies that she had made:)
Benny made a very nice holly leaf.
