Cookie decorating is an annual event that goes back to Kristin's youth (about 5 or 6), and we all look forward to seeing the next generation and their creative genius. Our very shy Miss E stayed in bed, watching TV and playing on her mom's i pad.....
This 2 1/2 year old is more proficient than some adults I know....I'm one of them!
There were 11 children and their parents invited to decorate 12 giant gingerbread men (thanks, Linda, for finding them), 8 standard gingerbread men, 2 dozen sugar cookies and 4 dozen chocolate cookies....
And after preparing 8lbs. confectioner's sugar, 2 1/2 lbs, butter, vanilla and milk into five colors and 6 pastry bags with various tips we're ready to go!
Moms and kids were concentrating very hard....to keep up their strength pizza was served
The giant gingerbread men were very popular...each child had one to decorate and there were a few extras...
And here is Kris and Miss E decorating a cookie-it's Kris's first time decorating in years!
Miss E isn't impressed....
And here's the winner! She has lots of expertise and experience....
Best of all is the day after-football
Both Miss C and Miss E watch football with their mom and play on the i pad or Kindle Fire.....Holy cow! Here's to Christmas!
