Yes, I know the cookies look green and pink, but come on, how much food coloring do you have to use? . . . ya know.
After about 3 cookies Sollie just chilled and watched (none of the other boys would have ever been allowed to eat 3 cookies . . but at least he was content for a while). He had to see what was going on, but no way was he going to be in reach of all that mess.
So, the truth be told: I always dreamed of being one of those moms that made Christmas cookies with her kids, but the last years that just didn't ever sound fun. But then I saw that on Christina's blog she made these fabulous Turkey cookies . . .well, we couldn't be outdone. I also saw that Kristal made some too . . .come on, if she can do it we just had to. We did spread out the joy a little . .we made the cookies one day then frosted them the next. But really it was fun to see how excited they were from a little cookie decorating. They sure didn't taste like I remember from Aunt Loris, but ya know . . .no one complained around here. It really was fun and even ended up not being the mess I was expecting. Although, now the boys tell me they are ready to decorate a gingerbread house. Ug.
