Christmas Cookies

We are part of a babysitting group that meets every Friday night. There are four families that participate and we rotate who keeps the kids so that three couples each week have 4 1/2 hours without the kiddos free of charge! It is so nice to have regular date nights without going broke paying for babysitters. There are 11 kids that come for now but three of the families had babies this past year so as soon as they are able to be left we'll be up to 14 - YIKES!!

It was our turn tonight and we thought it would be fun to have the kids frost and decorate Christmas sugar cookies. Imagine 11 sets of hands reaching for brightly colored frosting and bowls full of decorations .... I'm sure more than one knife was licked and stuck back into a bowl ;) Half of the cookies weren't edible once they were done because there was such a coating of frosting and sugary goodness that the kids said they were gross - go figure!! They had a great time and it was fun to have a project to keep them busy (even if it was only for a few minutes).
