So every year I swear I am not gonna do it-such a pain to make the special dough, chill the dough, roll it out, push & smack the cutters for 3D cookies...but every year I do it. My mom did it every year & I just feel sad if I think the tradition died when she moved on. I am smart, though. I have been training Emily to do this with me. This year I can honestly say she is 100% trained. We literally had two stations-she made half the cookies completely on her own. Then we all decorated them & watched "White Christmas" of course! "Mandy, there's a minister handy..."
Ryan & Ambee
Erickson & Madison
Crazy Eyes Em & Gnette
The chosen ones-to leave for Santa on Christmas eve, made by Emily. Where did she get her crafty talents, I ask again?
I am mom to a brilliant, extraordinary 15 year old redheaded Asperger Syndrome/ Autistic/Whatever You Wanna call it child (a boy) & a talented, beautiful, cheerful 12 year old daughter. I have a uniquely evolved and patient husband who is an amazing musician. I like all three of them a lot.
