Sugar cookies and Christmas #1...

Our first Christmas celebration was this past Saturday at my Mom's house. She invited all the local cousins and aunts to come visit. In preparation for Saturday, she made sugar cookies. Oliver was very excited to help cut them out. He spent a good amount of time figuring out which cookie cutter to use and where it fit the best to get the most cookies out of the rolled dough. 

Then Saturday afternoon came and it was a time to play...

And decorate the cookies...

Unfortunately Oliver had a fever so he had to stay downstairs. He was pretty bummed not to have been able to decorate cookies. So a few days later on Monday, Mormor made a new batch and had them ready to frost after dinner. The boys loved creating their edible masterpieces and were discussing who to share them with. 

They filled two whole pans with finished sugar cookies. Thank you Mormor for all the sugar cookie fun and for a great first Christmas gathering.
