Christmas Tradition

Olivia and I started a new tradition last week.  Let the Christmas cookie extravaganza begin!

Since we were heading up to Wisconsin for a Christmas celebration last weekend I thought it would be nice to bring some cookies along to share.  It was also a good excuse to get them out of my house so I didn't eat all of them.

Olivia strapped on her Cookie Monster apron that Grandma made for me when I was little, wheeled her chair up to the counter and helped make the cut out cookies.

She got to help roll out the dough, cut the cookies, eat some of the dough when I wasn't looking or was too far away to stop her, and put sprinkles on the cookies.  Putting sprinkles on was by far her favorite part of the process.  We (she) used a whole can of sprinkles on one sheet of cookies.

Cutting the cookies:



Sneaking some dough:


What, I wasn't eating any dough:


Patiently waiting for her cookies:


Sprinkle time:


Who wants some cookie with their sprinkles:


Oh man these are good:


One happy little girl:


Nothin to see here folks, just eating some sprinkles:


She hides it well:


The cookies turned out to be pretty good, we even had a few left over to take up to Wisconsin.  We are going to try a couple different kinds this week.
