Well, we did the same thing we do every year. I like that I've made this a tradition, but I worry now that my kids will feel jaded as they get older. Oh well...
So we decorated sugar cookies again this year. This year I planned ahead, however, and was able to buy lots of fun things to decorate with. Tanis and Shaylyn seem to really enjoy it. The other two boys just don't have the attention span and Ailey was asleep until about the last 3 cookies that needed to be iced.

Lex and Nathaniel both only lasted for one cookie. Then they decided they wanted to go play with friends. So, I let them.
This is Nate's lone cookie:
(I didn't get a picture of Lex's cookie - because I forgot to take a picture of it...)
Tanis was creative and decided to make faces on the cookies. Shaylyn got extra creative and decided to make this little doozy:
I love this. She turned the M&M upside down so it'd be a w/ type thing and then the lips are sealed. She is such a creative little thing. I hope it stays with her always.
These are the finished product:
After the cookies were done, everyone went about their 'merry' way. Tanis went and played on the computer. Shaylyn went out and played with the dog (See Eric, Flower gets play time):
Shortly after that Eric got home from work. We had dinner and then played the Angry Bird card game. I loved that it was so simple to understand and that it was a fast moving game. We played like 4 rounds and I won 2, which meant I was the overall winner! YAY!!! (That rarely happens for me)
Eric and I then watched shows together. Eric wasn't feeling well and my back is in really bad shape, so we've opted to celebrate this weekend.It was still a fun day and I'm thankful I have a few kids who enjoy simple little things like decorating cookies!
thats totally a cute tradition! fun! =)
