Christmas Memories

When I was growing up, my mom, brother, sister and I all got together and decorated LOADS of sugar cookies. It was always so much fun! Well, I decided that this year Jackson might enjoy "carrying on the tradition!"

Jackson with sugar in hand!!


Jackson's first batch of cookies! All sorts of colorful cookies!!


The best part...eating them!! (Notice he picked the one cookie with THE MOST SUGAR on top!!)


There was sugar, candy balls and "sticky" everywhere when it was all said and done...but boy did we have a blast! Cody came home mid-cookie decorating, which is how we have these pictures. I was not about to leave Jackson to his own devices standing on the stool with 5 bottles of colored sugar within his reach!! That would have started a whole new tradition I do believe!! Have a very happy week leading up to Jesus' Birthday!
