Christmas Cookie Night

One of the highlights every year at Christmas time is the traditional cookie bake. The recipe is simple. The art work is complex and deep.


Here we see mom and and our youngest cutting out the cookie dough and baking the cookies.








Here we are making the icing, which is so important for the future artisans of the cookie trade!







The kids are completely enthralled and enjoy the incredible anticipation of decorating the first cookie! Mom is in her element and enjoying every minute.





The careful attention to detail is astonishing. One wonders where the talent comes from. As a dad, I am so impressed with the effort.







And, the results speak for themselves. Uh...could some one pass me the milk?
