Sugar Cookies 2013

Who wants to make a mess in the kitchen?  Julia!

And Evelyn!  The girls took turns rolling and cutting out about 20 sugar cookies each.  Julia cut out men and trees, while Evelyn cut out bells and stars.

 After letting the cookies cool off, it was - finally - decorating time!  One of the little men lost his foot before going into the oven, so I made a toothpick peg-leg for him.  Evelyn then decorated him like a pirate...very clever!

 Julia was very focused this year, carefully adding dots of frosting and nonpareils.

 Julia even designed this star to look like a poinsettia.

 And the finished products!  Way to go, junior chefs!
