Christmas cookies

There's a song by George Strait called,  "Christmas Cookies"! Everytime I hear it I think of Jeff, and of course this morning  it just happened to be on my playlist and it came on.  Jeff's a huge fan of sugar cookies... every year at Christmas time we have to make at least one batch, preferably two or three though! ;) Also, last night we just happened to make cookies with our kids, so I decided I better write about everything we did together!

Marissa got her homework done really quickly last night and practiced the piano right after without a single complaint.  With all the extra time we were able to do an extra activity together, so of course it had to be sugar cookies!

It's fun to watch Jeff turn into a kid getting all giddy as he pulls everything out to make the cookies. The kids get so excited to help they love cutting out the cookies with the cookie cutters, and they love sneaking dough to eat here and there! Jeff's not a huge icing fan so the cookies are just plain for now, but we may decorate a few with icing later to take to neighbors! The best thing is we have a great time and we look forward to it year after year.
