We put aside an afternoon this year for Christmas cookies. We laid Eliott down for a nap so Madison and I could get a jump start. We put together the dough for the sugar cookies and the peanut butter star cookies and then had to make a quick 'sprinkle' run. We hadn't gotten any fun sprinkles so we headed downtown to find a jar. I was thinking more along the lines of red and green, but Madison quickly took a liking to the sparkly pink. Why not pink Christmas cookies. We got the snowflakes for Eliott and headed home. Madison was an awesome helper and her and I had fun mixing dough, licking beaters, and pressing stars. When T woke up we worked through a batch of almond bark. The kids were in charge of the sprinkles. Eliott was more into eating the snowflakes so Madi and I did most of the sprinkling. The next day we rolled out the sugar cookies and cut them out. Madison loved this and Eliott was impressively good at cutting them out. He is totally at a 'T-do-it" stage and didn't want any help. Although we have several armless gingerbread men and some funny looking stars, they look and taste pretty good. Madison and I finished up frosting them during Eliott's nap and then we all delivered later that day. Very fun :).
