Cookie Sprinkle Love

Yesterday the boys endured what most children would aptly describe as the nightmare before Christmas. They were so patient as we zipped around town running a multitude of errands which I concluded with a mega grocery shopping trip.

Today we stayed home. We stayed home! My favorite kind of day. We listened to records and baked cookies and signed Christmas cards for the neighbors. Then, I turned them loose to play outside.

That dollar-fifty bag of thrift store cookie cutters came in handy today.


We rolled and cut and sprinkled {quite vigorously}.

Tukes scooped...

He is fond of green {like his mama}. Would you care for some cookie with your sprinkles?

My two very proud and enthusiastic bakers informed me that our cookies are beautiful and delicious. {In case you're wondering, my kitchen floor was just as be-sprinkled as the goodies.}

I did manage to convince the boys to leave some of them "undressed" for those of us who prefer to taste the flavor of the cookie and not just sugar.

We heart cookies, especially with sprinkles.
