Christmas Cookies 2008

Every year we decorate Christmas cookies together as a family. We usually have Gavin with us as well and they make a total mess and have lots of fun. Most years, I am Martha Stewart Jr. and I make cookies and icing from scratch, but this year it was break and bake cookies with canned icing. Amazingly, the boys didn't know any different. I guess I felt extremely adventurous this year, and decided to have Gavin and Jay (our nephews) join us. Somehow, we also ended up with Hughes (our other nephew). Thank goodness I had Charlie to help me!! The boys had a great time and ended up eating more that they decorated. Check out the top photo - that is Jay in the orange. I am not sure what that face is all about :}
