Christmas Cookies

My family has never been known for being traditional, in any sense of the word. But there is one tradition that we have done since I was a little girl and that is make and frost sugar cookies at the holidays. It is a tradition that I brought with my to my own family and I hope that my kids will have the same wonderful memories of it that I do! Even though our kitchen is smaller than most people's bathrooms, we made due!


Lauren was very proud of the cookie she made. We are still trying to figure out if she got more frosting on the cookie or the floor!

Here is A.J. he was the first of the kids to organize the sprinkles on his snowman into a face. His personal face doesn't show it be he was very excited!
After all the decorating fun was over the kids, and Jeff were kind enough to leave all the mess for me to clean up. Just like we did for my mother. Wow another tradition that I didn't plan on!


And while I was cleaning frosting from EVERY WHERE, the rest of the family went into the front room and played supermario party8, over all it was a wonderful day!


While we may not have the monetary things that we are use to we are growing together as a family and finding that we can actually have a lot of fun together, what a wonderful gift!
