Cookies....and Sprinkles!

I only had a few things I wanted to do with the kids this December for the ramp up to Christmas; we are still working out what traditions we are going to try to do every year, and the kiddos are still pretty little for a lot of the hoopla! So, we saw Santa, we got a tree, saw the sites in the city, and we are going to take an evening drive to see the lights (oh man, Colin's head is going to EXPLODE!). The only other thing on my list was to make cutout sugar cookies and let the kids help decorate them.

Sunday was the day! Grammy and Papa Frank came down for the day to soak up some toddler love...

And, we got our Sprinkle on! The kids actually did really well with the whole process! They sat and sprinkled, and hardly licked anything at all!

Ok, some licking:

But, more sprinkling....

Did they like the cookies? Umm, no. Colin doesn't eat cookies, on principle. Gillian is usually a cookie monster, but wasn't into the sugar cookie. I bet Santa will be though.

That is what we did last night and today too! Fun, fun, fun:)...I invited another relocated family over...the mom whom I have become friends with and two of their children (ages 6 and 7) and it was awesome:)...Rachel frosted and sprinked only one as she licked her fingers and promptly ate it:)...loved it...
