So today we baked cookies with everyone here. Our favorite cookie in this family is my famous cut-outs. I used to make them for every holiday when the kids were little but now it's mostly just for Christmas. Elly gets so excited to cut them out and after about a dozen she's done. Next comes frosting them, this year El did so much better keeping the frosting fingers out of her mouth. She stuck with the frosting until they were all done, Grandpa thought she got a little carried away with the sprinkles, there's about a 1/2 inch of sprinkles striped down the center. Look at her face, she got that cute grin that gets her out of any trouble that she's in. The cookies on the table are only about half of them, lets just say it's a good thing we all help. Jesse decided him and Adam would start a production line and each person got a different job. The first person blobs on the frosting, next person smooths it out, next person decorates and then the last person puts it on the tray. Lynn and Sarah quit that production line as soon as the first blob was dropped.
For Christmas morning we have fresh baked (store bought frozen) cinnamon rolls so since Lynn and Shannon will not be waking up on Christmas morning in this house (first time... sniff, sniff) I decided to make cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning in their own homes and they could help. I found a homemade cinnamon roll recipe and just had to try them. These rolls are better than the frozen any day. I wasn't sure how to freeze the rolls before baking so we baked them all, the girls will either eat them all now or freeze them baked. I'll have to experiment with the freezing before next year.
