One of my most favorite "home movies" to watch time and time again is when my Mom recorded my sisters and I decorating Christmas cookies at our kitchen table when I was probably 4, amy was around 6, and Cindy couldn't have been much older than 2. (Did i get that right Mom?) Anyways, Amy was always doing her own thing, would smile here and there for the camera, but she was all business when it came to cookies. I had to tell everyone how to make their cookies, and compliment/critique their work, whether or not they asked for it! And Cindy...well Cindy was just the cutest little raspy voice rosey cheek cookie decorator you can ever imagine. She was talking, but not great, so you have to kind of make-out what she says. And mostly she just ate the icing off her knife, or off the lid of the sprinkles.
My Mom really wanted to make Christmas cookies with her grandbabies this year, and we all thought it was a great idea! The rules were...THERE ARE NO RULES! So us Moms, and Aunt Sissy of course, had to resist the urge to spare a mess, or a stain on their clothes, and just let it all happen and enjoy the experience.

| I think she plans to make this a tradition! |

| Reagan poured 2 entire bottles of sprinkles onto her cookies |

| "ALL GONE" |

| Until he got ahold of the icing container! |
We had so much fun and loved watching the madness as it unfolded. Santa is going to love these cookies!
