Today was Christmas cookie day. Emily had been asking about it every day since she found the cookie cutters downstairs last week. Here is the process in pictures...
Emily was very excited to roll out the dough and pick out the shapes.
Lincoln just enjoyed playing with the flour (and making a mess).
Lincoln took bites out of three different cookies while Emily & I were mixing up the frosting.
He's probably contemplating his next move.
Emily's favorite part is the sprinkles. Unfortunately, they came out a little faster than she expected. We had tiny green/red/white nonpareils bouncing and rolling all over the counter and floor. Lincoln discovered they were great fun to swish around and swipe off the counter. I discovered that the slightest bit of moisture causes them to melt and smear color. Lincoln's drool + nonpareils = mess.
After more major spillage of the Hollyberry sugar sprinkles, Emily switched to making stripes with the squeeze bottle.
Our finished products with Lincoln doing what he does best--putzing around in the sink.
The Christmas tree also got a makeover today. We have the set of 101 plastic cookie cutters from Wilton. It's a great investment even if you don't make cut-out cookies, and it's available at Wal-mart. I tied red yarn loops to about half of them and Emily redecorated the tree. :o)

Hey, as I look back at this post, I am thinking we could come up with a cookie cutter Jesse Tree. The butterfly, the cross, the bell, the egg, an apple, a heart....
