Cookies

I haven't baked sugar cookies and decorated them since I was a little girl.  I forgot how much I loved it!  We also made some really yummy gingerbread men cookies too.  This year is extra special since Makayla is now old enough and is making cookies for Santa.  She said he's going to be hungry when he visits our house on Christmas.  She invited her cousins over to help out too.  The girls all had so much fun with the whole new tradition we've started together this year.  The holidays are just getting more and more special and so much fun!
Our little elf getting the dough ready.  We have flour everywhere!  It's even on her cheeks in this picture if you can't tell.  While we were mixing in the flour into the mixer it poofed all over us because it was going a tad too fast.
Alyssa rolled out the dough and now Auntie Patty is helping Makayla cut her cookies to put  on the cookie sheet for baking.  
Our 3 little bakers!
Alexis & Makayla unsupervised!  Looks like it's going to be a bigger mess then it already is!
It's decorating time!  Lots of fun stuff they're using.  All different sorts of sprinkles and colored icing. to decorate with.
Oh, Mylee's even participating.  Well, how 'bout still supervising as usual.  Taking it all in, before you know she'll be helping Big Sis and her cousins.
Right out of the oven, so pure and plain looking.
The 1st decorated batch by everyone.  All looks so good!
There was so many we had to have a few plates of finished goods.  We all had so much fun and Santa is going to not be hungry after visiting us!
