Cookies!

The Saturday before Christmas was time for our annual Christmas cookie making.  The past couple years, Jake has requested gingerbread, so we did gingerbread again along with some pumpkin cookies.  We always make a big batch to pass out to our neighbors so it's fun to see the boys doing something with others in mind.  This year, I had two happy helpers so cookie making was twice the fun!

 Jake is a REALLY great kitchen helper.  He's old enough to do most everything on his own, which I can hardly believe!  He was very good at rolling out the dough and getting the cookies on the cookie sheet...

 Both boys were really great decorators. Luke maintained interest much longer than I expected and had a great time decorating.
