It is January but we are flashing back to December.

 Many times I would begin a post then never finish it.

 So during my 2013 blog more resolution

 I will be finishing up many of those old abandoned posts.

Christmas Traditions

 It's December now and Christmas is in full swing around here.

 I have been all kinds super busy with crafts,

 baking, scrap booking, decorating, celebrating and even going on train rides. :)

 I have managed to do all these things and 

still maintain the many hours I like to spend on Pinterest. 

Now, that is multitasking people! 

So... today I busted out some of the most amazing sugar cookies I have ever tasted.

 Holy Moly, me-oh-my!!!!. 

These babies left me speechless. 

Here is a link to 

the sugar cookie recipe

I baked with today.

 {and yes, I did find it on Pinterest  *wink}

Crew was the most adorable little helper.

Seriously, he made this whole thing so much more fun.

His sweet, little hands were very busy stamping the cookie cutters

all over the dough in every direction. 

I would show him how I do it then he would look up at me and say,

"it's okay Mom, It's fine."  

My heart melted and I knew he was right.

It was okay.

It didn't matter if they were not cut out using

 as much of the negative space as possible.

It was a very memorable moment with him.

I am so glad he wanted to hang out with me

 and make me smile until my cheeks hurt!

Before the kids were home from school 

I had all the cookies all beautifully baked.

I will not be frosting them yet.

Tonight I am watching my neighbor's 3 girls

and thought this would be so fun to do with all the kiddos.

 Going to be sugary madness around here. :) 

Okay....the results are in. 

Here are the  pictures from our

 Christmas Sugar Cookie Decorating Bonanza!

Paige, Miley, Landen, & Brooke

My boys were involved for about ten minutes.
Didn't even get a pic of Landen.

These three little angels stayed with me the whole time.
It was so fun. They talked me ear off.
Sang me Christmas songs. And frosted many
beautiful cookies for me. :)

Crew was into it but ate his as fast as he was decorating.

Hard at work.

Miley kept asking me if her cookie was beautiful? Love it!

Brooke is always sweet as pie and very shy.
It was fun to get her talking and goofing around with me.

Paige is such a little grown up.  It was great talking with her,
she sang me songs from her choir program and shared
silly stories with me. I was in girl heaven tonight. 

Next time I want to frost cookies I am so

 calling these girls over.

 Sorry to admit this but I had way more

fun with the girls then the boys tonight. :)
