Christmas Cookies

I made Cook a promise a few weeks ago and told him that if he picked a child off of the Angel Tree to adopt I would help him wrap his presents and bake him Christmas cookies.  Because Cook made good on his promise and bought all of these presents to make some little boy happy on Christmas...Max, Chance, and I decided to get with the Christmas spirit too!

We spent the evening wrapping presents and baking sugar cookies.  I've forgotten how much fun it is to bake and decorate sugar cookies.  The two pictures below are of Chance trying to help in the kitchen.  He gets around pretty well as long as he has something to hold himself up.  He hasn't taken any steps without holding on to any furniture yet, but he stands alone in the middle of the room all of the time. It really won't be long before he walks now.  





Max and Cook really got into baking these cookies.  We cut out cookies in shapes of Santas, stars, Christmas trees, candy canes, and a ski of course!
Cook was the best decorator by far.  He was very proud of his Santa.  

I like to keep my cookies simple with plain old green frosting and let all the sprinkles do the work.  Now I've got to find someone to give all of these cookies to so that I don't sit around and eat them for days.

Chance is the best helper EVER! I love that pic of him and you in the kitchen…so precious!

And I would be more than happy to take those cookies off your hands:)
