Christmas Cookies

We have a twice a week play date with other neighborhood kids. Usually, we meet at the park in hopes of wearing the kids out for their naps. I thought it would be fun to do something different today...like decorate Christmas cookies. Jack and I bake cookies a LOT. This is the first time, however, we did sugar cookies. It was a blast.

Last night, dad helped us bake the cookies. Jack kept taking scraps of dough from me until he had quite the pile.

This morning he could hardly wait for his friend (also named Jack) to come over to our house. He was literally jumping up and down with anticipation. He was too excited to eat much for breakfast and spent much of the morning waiting at the table with the frosting and decorations.


I think he did a fantastic job. The gels were tricky. If you wanted some, you had to get to it first because Jack squirted the entire tube onto his cookie.
