Time to make the cookies!

Ahh... holiday baking. One of my favorite childhood memories of the holiday's. How awesome it feels for me to now have this tradition with my children like I did with my mom. It's easy to get overwhelmed while baking with the kids due to the extreme messes we create, but we were smart and waited for Fletch to take his nap before starting our cookies. This made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. It was so fun to sit with the kids and create their edible Christmas creations. (sorry Fletch... next year buddy : )





We then went over to Brian and Kelly's (my brother & sis-in-law) to decorate our cookies and celebrate Poppy's birthday (my dad).
