"I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar...."

Well, Emily is home for most of her Christmas break, so yesterday we decided to make not-very-good-for-you Christmas cookies. They are still yummy though....so much for dietary plans... :)



Charlotte was a good girl and stayed on her blanket, just watching us with lonely eyes. I think I caught her glaring at me a few times for not letting her off her blanket to "help" us. ;)

"......I sure do like those Christmas cookies sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees and bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe

Now Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes the more I eat
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
Sometimes she'll wait til I'm asleep
And she'll take the ones that I didn't eat
And put those little sprinkley things on top


Now those sprinkley things just make things worse
Cause it makes em taste better than they did at first
And they're absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss......"



Yum!! :)

Ok, the cookies look awesome. But, my favorite picture, by far, is the last one. That's a keeper! :-)

Cute cookies! And CUTE DOG! I didn't know you had a dog?! When did you get it? Why have you not posted photos before?

Chatty - oops, I forgot to mention that the dog is Emily's. :) I don't usually let it inside, but since it's been so cold, I gave in. :)

Hey, Jennifer...Great snow pictures and cookie pics too. I make tons of Christmas cookies every year and can appreciate the fun and work that goes into the project. Perhaps we can share recipes sometime! Uncle Austin enjoyed watching these pictures with me. Love, Aunt Joan
