COOKIES

Our cookie bake this year turned into a cookie exchange. Each one brought a dozen cookies for each other - No baking was had.
Good thing! It gave us time to catch up with the "daughters" and play with the kids.
Mike and I had this old dining room table in the basement. I offered it to Carrie thinking it would be a great size for the kids to play on. He cut the legs down to the perfect toddler height. Just needs a coat of paint and the kiddies have a play station and I am minus one more thing outa my basement.

Roger had his sights set on the fruit tray. A grape, slice of banana, topped with a strawberry on a toothpick make a "Elf, Not a Santa!" Silly me.

 Now for the real fun. Matthew helped me whip up some frosting. Green and white. Each child was given a Christmas knife, cookies were decorated and more memories were made.

 Roger wasn't too sure about the apron or the decorating, but he warmed up and sat right down and smeared frosting all over the place just like the rest of them. A few tastes and bites were had by all!

 Kaylyn, Erica and Kallie stayed at the table until the last cookie had frosting.

Another successful Christmas Cookie day.
