One afternoon we decided to combine baking & cookie decorating to keep us in the holiday spirit! We baked our family poppyseed bread recipe for neighbors & teachers. My little assistant Adelaide enjoyed wearing matching Mrs. Claus aprons while measuring & pouring all of the ingredients. The boys & Salem enjoyed the aroma gracing the kitchen. I love sharing my childhood traditions with my kids.
To satisfy our sweet teeth, we decorated ornament cookies. I saw the cutest pre-made cookie box with all the fixins for decorating~ icings, candies, & sprinkles. Each of the kids got to decorate two cookies for themselves and perfected their technique as they went along. We enjoyed the cookies with some hot cocoa and a festive movie after dinner.
And because you can never have too many sweets during the holidays, we had a girl cousin cookie decorating party at my sister Taylor's house. So precious to see the littles get excited and to watch the bigs help them with their cookies. The bond these cousins share is one of the greatest joys & gifts of our lives.
