Sugar Cookies
I wanted sugar cookies. I wanted to cut cookies out and ice them and sugar them, and do a fun Christmas project with the kids. And so we did. Last night Zeria and I cut the cookies out and baked them while the others were in bed, and today after they helped me clean the kitchen we made a gooey mess so we could clean it again.
I haven't been up to doing this with the kids since before Jeremiah was born. LOL So its been a long time, and I was determined that was going to end now. It was a fun project, and the kids were very serious about it.
Samuel was all about piling. He wanted as much of that icing on the top as possible. This is one of his first cookies, each one got more and more until it finally looked like a dog had dumped icing on the top. *snigger*
Kaylin and Zeria were about designs. And came up with some very nice ones.
Jamari and Rainee just had fun. And Jeremiah well we know which sprinkles were his favorite as he DROWNED the cookies in red sprinkles. LOL
We even got some of the icing on the cookies...once and awhile.
And now we have lots of Christmas prettys to share with Grandma Bower when she comes over with her girls to celebrate a early Christmas tomorrow. If you remember I said she was coming after Christmas, but now she's coming before. Its all good LOL Except her Christmas pressy I ordered with plenty of time was in Chehalis as of last night at 7:30. The odds of it getting here tonight are slim and slimmer. *sigh* And Rob's gift? I can't contact the company I ordered it from, and I can't find my confirmed order email I deleted it by accident somehow. I have the copy I made for myself from the site, but not the one they sent me, and now I'm beginning to think there's a good possibility it just plain isn't coming. *sigh* But hopefully I'm worrying for naught.
Anyhow there's the finished result of all the cookies. LOTS and LOTS of cookies.

Hope the gifts both arrive safe and on time.
What fun! Come back by the site. I added afew more pics.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
I love making sugar cookies. Yes it is stressful at times but still a lot of fun. Yours look great and tasty!! We made two baches already this year but somebody keeps eating them so we have to make more tommorow. I don't know who that would be??? he he
See there, I told you it would be fun....and funny. Love making those Christmas memories.
Looks like you all had so much fun doing that!
I am glad!
I haven't made cookies in ages! Maybe we'll do that tonight. Or tomorrow. We made sugar cookies for our neighbors once for Easter, when Scotlyn was about 4. We took them over, and they oohed and ahhed appropriately. I pulled Ms Helen aside and had to warn her, "Don't eat the pink one. Scotlyn kept licking the icing off and starting over." She got such a kick out of that. Ten bucks says she gave that one to her husband. ROFL!
