Christmas Cookie Time

Once a year, at Christmas, we go all-out with our cookie decorating! Mommy & whatever kids are home help me roll the sugar cookie dough & cut out our cookie shapes. After we bake them, Mommy makes special Royal Icing and colors them & puts the icings into piping bags.

This year, it was Reese, Daddy, Grammie, & I that did the cookie decorating & we had great fun. It was the first time Grammie had decorated cookies...can you believe it?
Reese chose the blue icing which had a small tip & it was kind of hard to squeeze out...

Here, Reese is working on Sant's special cookie...


The finished cookie was a tad...red....and Santa was very thankful Reese made such a special cookie with lots of icing & sprinkles of every variety!
We set a special table for Santa with his cookies & a plate full of carrots for the reindeer...
