Baking Christmas Cookies!

Today was our baking day. We put together plates of goodies to deliver to family, friends and neighbors. Each year I like to do sugar cookies with the kids. We use my great grandma's old recipe (so yummy!) and her butter cream frosting recipe. It's all made from scratch and taste heavenly! The kids helped with everything... as you can see! :-) They loved every second. The helped to roll the dough, use the cookies cutters, color the frosting, frost the cookies, and sprinkle the cookies. Michael worked so hard on frosting the cookies. We had so many cookies to do and Michael stuck with it so focused the whole time. We had a blast! The girls helped as well, but mostly they worked on the M&M cookies. They loved pushing the M&M's into the cookie dough before they baked. They worked very hard to make sure there were plenty for everyone.

So excited about her first star!


So much fun with Boompa!


When my hands started to hurt, Michael took over rolling the dough and did an incredible job!




A quick break to read some stories with Boompa



Coloring the frosting

"oh, it's such hard work to push all those m&ms in the cookie dough."



Counting out the m&ms to make sure they are equal



So serious with her work. hehe



The joy!
