One of the fun things about having kids around at Christmas is the joy and enthusiasm they bring to making Christmas treats. My sister-in-law Molly and her kids along with my sister-in-law Katie came up to our house and we had a great time undertaking this holiday tradition.
Josh and Sarah are serious about choosing their cookie cutters and their sprinkles.
Our cookies before they went into the oven
Josh had fun with the "traditional" Christmas boot (we also do a whale cookie, too. Oh, the fun of random cookie cutters :-)
Josh had fun with green sprinkles
I had fun trying out my fun ornament cookie cutters that made extra cutouts that could be filled with jolly ranchers to look like stained glass
The extra dough was rolled in the sprinkles and coiled up to make candy cane cookies
Graeme didn't quite get the cookie cutting part yet but he kept an eye out at the stove to make sure no cookies were burnt. He was also a great help making the dough beforehand. He got out one of his spoons and helped stir with the mixer :-)
Some of our finished cookies
Katie and Liam had fun playing (and napping)
More of our yummy cookies
Graeme really likes the finished product!
It was such a great time making cookies with the cousins and having some time with my sisters-in-law. We can't wait for more adventures full of Hales!
