Well, last night I stayed up and cut out and baked all the Christmas cookies. There were probably about 3 dozen or so. They turned out really well. I'll have to post my recipe later.
This morning my just-turned-2-year-old DD and I decorated the cookies. First we turned on the Christmas music and danced around for a while.
Then I made up 2 batches of frosting, and made it in white, red, green, and yellow. We had a lot of fun decorating the cookies. DD mostly had fun eating them and playing with the sprinkles! (Why, oh why, did I get out the sprinkles?!?
) He, he! She dumped them out EVERYWHERE, and then even tried to dump them over her head!! Oh, my! She said she had fun decorating the cookies. She actually decorated a few herself. She tried to paint the frosting on, but that didn't work so well. So I frosted and she put sprinkles on.
DH came in a cracked up! :-) He said, when I left, we had a clean home! LOL! It took me 20 minutes to clean up the mess when we got done. But we had fun making the mess. And our cookies look better than I thought they would. Decorating is sooo not my thing. I have a really good friend who is great at stuff like that. She makes the most beautiful cakes and cookies you've ever seen! I don't care enough to work that hard. :rolleyes:
So, it got wild and crazy in my dining room today, but DD and I had a blast decorating our cookies together. She's gonna have even more fun eating them when she gets up from her nap. :-)
