We did it!  Thursday we baked Christmas cookies and I survived the flour, sugar, baking, etc.  Grandpa pretty much took charge and the decorators were on hand to assist.  The kids and grandma all got into it too.  It was a nice way to spend the afternoon…..

 

I was in charge of photos and decorating which was fine by me….

Of course we had a no licking rule but I caught a few cheaters……

and I caught one who skipped the licking and just ate his creations……
