And of course we must have supplies! Check out just a few of the ingredients we used!

Grandma Roxie loves making cookies with her mini-chefs! lol Aren't these aprons and hats the cutest? I found them and had to buy lots! The boys had plain ones and the girls had gingham with lace trim. Mia wore all of them I think! She kept saying I want this one-It's my favorite and then 5 minutes later she'd have a new favorite! hahaha!

We made Coconut Orange Chews, Chocolate Chip, Peppermint Snowballs, Snickerdoodles, Peanut Butter, Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Oaties, Stained Glass cut outs, Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk & of course our World Famous Sugar Cookie cut outs!!! We also made a few candies like chocolate covered pretzels and dipped peanut butter crackerwiches! Mmmmmmmm!!

When it is time to decorate them, everyone gets in on the act! Even my brother in law Carlos! What a hoot!

Mia loved decorating her cookies and couldn't hardly wait to eat them up! I can't blame her though, I think I ate 2 or 3 that 'accidentally' broke while I was decorating them! ;)

Here is a glimpse of the decorated sugar cookies! We love them so much! I of course had to make a few cookie heads! Check out Caiti and Madee in cookie form! lol After this phot was taken, I had to add more 'hair' lines to Caiti as I was informed that 'she has way more hair than that'! hahahahaha


We hope you enjoy these pics and maybe that you could even join us soon for cookie day!
