Christmas Cookies!


It's that time of year-the annual cookie decorating party. Little C was so excited she just stood and screamed-she told her Oma  (that's grandma in German) on the phone that her friends were coming to her party-and they were going to decorate cookies!  
Here's phase one-all the decorations were laid out in the middle of the table so the dogs couldn't get them.
Grammy showed how to outline
That's JH on little C's left, and C on the right
K is the best Santa's helper you could find! She's getting the sugar cookies ready to put in the oven.
And here's the superb results-bet you can't eat just one! 
So, there were so many choices....colored icing, candies, and piping.
This is K-she has many talents besides cooking the cookies.
And after hours of decorating, a lunch of  clam chowder in a bread bowl, we all settled down for a movie. It was a great day and we all agreed to do it again next year!

What a great new tradition you've started. And I'm so impressed at how organized your decorating table was. And the cookies? Oh my goodness they are gorgeous! I bet there isn't one crumb left, they were so yummy.
