Christmas Cookies

Something else festive we did last weekend was make Christmas Cookies!  This is something we did every year when I was a little girl, and we have continued the tradition with Caeden every Christmas (even when he was only 4 mos old)!  We have also used the same recipe for as long as I can remember.  It's the sugar cookie recipe and icing recipe from my Grandma Martin.  They're the best Christmas cookies ever!  Every year it's quite the mess, but we enjoy making memories!

Trying the cookie dough

Rolling out the dough all by himself!

Callie's turn!

Notice our flour mess when 

we were finished!

Decorating time!

And of course,

testing the icing!

His first cookie to decorate

Then he decided to just start

dipping the cookies in icing

and taking a big bite!

Who would've thought!?

Callie had to get in on the decorating action

Our gingerbread family!

We each decorated our own cookie

(except for Callie of course)
