We were all up early today…It is Christmas Eve.
I had mixed up cookie dough two days ago.
It was chilling in the refrigerator,
waiting for some enthusiastic cookie bakers.
We rolled the balls of dough, and popped them in the oven.
While they were baking, Jack and his mama peeled the foil
from the kisses. Jack loves chocolate kisses!
We patiently waited the five minutes before
pressing the kisses in place.
The second batch of sugar cookie dough included cocoa.
Mama made the dough balls and Jack rolled them in powdered sugar,
which makes them look snow covered.
Some Candy Cane kisses and some chocolate,
for those that fancy a Double Chocolate delicacy.
These will be a nice addition to our tray
of Decorated Sugar Cookies.
Jack was in charge of the Sprinkles.
We all took this pretty seriously.
It was fun to create our designs
with all the pretty colors of icing.
More sprinkles the better, right?
I think Jack was taste testing, the evidence is on his lips!
This is a special little tree that Amy purchased while
visiting a Christmas Market in Germany.
She and Jack decorated it together.
It takes good hand coordination to
attach those tiny ornaments.
Preparing for Christmas Holiday is serious work,
however it is a whole lot of fun.
I hope you are surrounded by family,
the sounds of delighted children,
and the aroma of Christmas Goodies in the oven,
Merry Christmas
Take care,
~Natalie
