Cookie time!

Every year my family gets together to decorate Christmas cookies.  This is a tradition from way back when my mom was a kid.  Then, we continued it when I was a kid.  It took a hiatus while we had no kids in our family, but now...  IT'S BACK!  (We did it last year too, but it was just Taryn then.)  This year we added Rue, Maya & Macy to the mix. 

 Taryn and Rue in their aprons. 

(Note:  In this picture Taryn is pretending to be shy because Rue was being shy.  It was quite the ridiculous show since Taryn is almost NEVER shy.  Sometimes I really wonder how much of Taryn's life is spent acting...  I might be scared to know!  We're in for it when she's a teen.) 

 Of course many many many of the cookies ended up pink...

 And a decent amount of frosting was consumed sans cookie. 

 Another tradition is that we always make cookies that look like each other.  Here is the Cole cookie.  Pretty spot on... 

 The Taryn cookie.  If only I could have somehow made the cookie talk non-stop! 

 Our masterpieces. 

Always clean up before leaving Great Grandma's house!!!
