Cookies!

 It just doesn't seem like Christmas without making and decorating Christmas cookies!!  This year, Jake was the biggest help yet.  He cracked the eggs all by himself and was super at stirring!

 Luke joined in for the cutting and decorating...

 Cookies as dirty work...

 I know the best part comes at the end when we decorate (and sample!)

We made plenty to share and took cookies to neighbors, our pediatrician's office, and the police station.  I love getting to share the idea of loving and giving to others during our Advent.  I also love getting to talk to the boys about special people in our community who dedicate their lives to helping others.  The best part of it all for me is definitely the delivery part!
