Christmas Cookies!!

December 15th: Nana braved our crazy winter weather to come and bake cookies with us! The kids had a lot of fun...Drew helped the entire time and Katie sort of came and went. Alex was just really good at sticking her fingers in the cookie dough! Drew and Katie both ate more sugar and toppings than probably made it on the cookies, but they had lots of fun!

Here is Drew decorating the poinsettia cookies...he did a great job!

The finished product, along with the peanut butter blossoms Alex and I made while everyone else went to gymnastics! Alex tried to help put the kisses on, but she just kept eating them (or at least licking them, ewww...don't worry I didn't put those on the cookies!) so she got to watch a few minutes of Dora instead!


Drew worked very hard decorating these Santa cookies. Nana or I would dip them in the white chocolate, then he would sprinkle the red sugar and put the eyes and nose on! Katie wasn't too interested in this project, other than using her finger to scoop up red sugar and eating it!

When Nana got here a few hours earlier, it had just barely started flurrying!
Rich took some pictures of the huge flakes...one landed on his arm that was about two inches across!Drew decorating the sugar cookies, we decided to skip the icing this year since Nana needed to get on the road before the ice/sleet started.


Katie, waiting for her turn to sprinkle...eating more sprinkles as she goes!


Think they could use a little more sprinkles, Drew!!

Sorry for the blurry picture...here are the cookie makers in action...And, the finished sugar cookie product!
