Tis the season!
As I look at these precious pictures of my kids decorating Christmas cookies I long so much to wrap my arms around them. Just hold them for a second, (I say a second because they would never stay in a hug for longer than that, if they're not crying that is...I mean come on they are only 3 and 4 they have to much energy for that!) They had such a great time making Christmas cookies. The past two years I have made sure that the preschool makes Christmas cookies before I come home for the holidays. It was always a tradition in my house growing up to make "
beautifully" decorated cookies. So I guess now I feel like my kids would not truly be experiencing the Christmas holiday if it wasn't topped off with some yummy cookies. This year after the cookies were all baked and the kids had tasted their handy work we wrapped the rest up and gave them to other people in the school. Jennifer and Marlon really loved getting to go room to room and give away something they had made. It was a great way to start of the Christmas season!

I am so happy you are passing on that really fun tradition to your kids. All of your siblings and you say your favorite Christmas memory is making cookies. I hope they look back on that with as much good cheer as all of you do. I am also really happy the kids got to give away some cookies so they can learn it truly is better to give than to receive. I am proud of you!
Love, Mom
I also got to reap the benefits of your cookie/dough making skills and I could not be more happy!! I am glad you are home!! I love you! YFA
