Christmas Cookie Time

Just got back from a weekend in Michigan (more to come on that!) but wanted to get up some pictures from christmas cookie-making last weekend.  We do it every year and this year Avery was ecstatic to participate.  Holden took a nap during most of the festivities (good boy).

I have realized it's really up to us parents to help create our kids' holiday memories.  There's so much I want to do!!   This is one I hope to keep up with for many many years and I hope our kids will look forward to it as much as I do.

And having the biggest sweet tooth in Chicago doesn't hurt - and I'm talking about Avery, not me.  :)

holdie found his cookies (the little un-frosted ones!)

and went to town :) 

Can you believe Christmas is only a week away?!?
