Christmas Week: Cookie Baking



I'm going to try to catch up on all my holiday blogging this weekend, I swear! We've been having so much fun, and I've taken tons of pictures that I want to share with our family & friends who live far away and can't be with us this Christmas :)

Last Sunday was our annual sugar cookie bake-fest at my mom's house. This year was my niece Stella's first time joining all the "big girls" - we baked and decorated 200 frosted sugar cookies!






Kari, Michelle (Krista's friend), Krista, Jess, Erik & Stella...we let Erik join the girl party for awhile (he's pretty good at keeping little fingers out of the frosting) :)

After about 100 sugar cookies or so, we always start to get a little bored with traditional stuff...Kari turned a bell into a dreidel for Mitch (like she does every year!), and I attempted to turn a mitten into a goldfish cracker lol. Before you know it, you end up with this...


In case you can't tell what it is, that's a masked angel with a gun pointed at a ghetto snowman (thanks to Kari and Krista), complete with a Batman-like "Kapow!". Hey, you can only make so many perfectly decorated trees and snowflakes, right? :)
