Christmas Baking

Since we were snowed in this weekend, it provided us the perfect opportunity to bake Christmas cookies. Only Jackson and MK were interested in helping, but what great helpers they were. We had a lot of fun baking sugar, chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies.

And a lot of those tasty cookies have already been eaten....

I am going to need to starve myself after Christmas! :)

The following pictures have NOTHING to do with baking cookies, but I think they are cute and wanted to share them with you.

A Little Christmas Baking

Yesterday I decided the boys and I would bake some sugar cookies. Of course I didn't make the cookies from scratch...they were from the refrigerated section of the grocery store. I did call my neighbor and ask to borrow her rolling pin (since I don't own one), and we used cookie cutters to make shapes. Then the boys put sprinkles on top before baking.

Before the actual baking, we made hot chocolate.

Lil' Roy and flour - not a smart combination!

Butch wrote "Tar Heels" in the foot-shaped cookie dough...too bad the writing was gone when they came out of the oven!

After baking I realized the cookies were way too close together on the pan. Some of the shapes were hard to make out, but they all tasted fabulous!
