Christmas Cookies

I decided to brave making sugar cookies again this year. Last year they were too thin, brittle, and not very good. So, I tried a different recipe and had much better results. The kids helped me make them and we had a blast.

Kris had fun patting me with flour. He put his powdery hands somewhere else but I'll spare you that embarrassing photo.

After the cookies got done baking, the kids got to decorate them. Here's Isaac trying to figure out how to work the tube of icing.

Oops...

Emma's Christmas tree and Alivia with a mouthful.

The kids busy at work and Alivia licking the sprinkles bottle.

Lily and a green mouth.

The finished product!
