Christmas Eve cookies

While Lucy and Dad were ice fishing together, Jack, Isaac, Cass and I made one more batch of Christmas cookies.  This time we made some cutter cookies. Making cutter cookies reminds me of out snow days when I was a kid.  Mom would crank up the radio with Bing Crosby and Andy Williams and we would dream of a white Christmas with mounds of presents under the tree and piles of yummy treats to eat.

They really enjoyed the process, and as you can see from Jack's clothing and face (I wish I had a photo of his flour caked ear...) they really got into it!



Can you guess who decorated this corner?

I think I swept the floor at least 4 times before I felt like I had the majority of the sprinkles cleaned up.

They were delicious.  I love traditions like this.  I just wish Mom and Jenny could be here to help.

  1. I wish I could have been there, too! But I am glad to see you are carrying on the tradition. The cookies look yummy. I love the picture where Zeekie is dumping the whole bottle on a cookie. haha
