Who wants a cookie?

On Christmas Day, my mom wanted to make Christmas cookies with the kids. She had bought a tube of sugar cookie dough to roll out. First we had to get everything all set up.Then we covered everything, and I mean everything with flour. And then we rolled them out. Then it was time to use the cookie cutters. About half way through cutting out the cookies, C got frustrated with the fact that the cookies kept sticking to the table despite the flour. He came up with the good idea of rolling the dough on the spatula, cutting the cookie right on it and then sliding it on to the pan. What a smart little guy!

While we were working, my grandma "GiGi" supervised.

Once they baked, it was time to put the icing on.

Next came the sprinkles. We caught K licking the top of the sprinkles bottle. I guess that was her version of "decorating."

We let each of the kids lick the knife-usually a "no-no" at home.

Then the best part of all was eating them! As you can tell by the green mouths and tongues. And actually they tasted really good! It was fun but a lot of clean up. Thus the reason it usually only happens when Grandma is around.
