C is For Christmas Cookies

This year, we wanted to get into the cookie making tradition in earnest.

We tried to get it going in our house a couple of times.

But the kids had other ideas.



Then we got invited to a cookie decorating marathon at our friends' home!

Buchela thought he had died and gone to a candy heaven.

He was way too distracted by the skittles and m&ms to do actual decorating.

He sorted them.

Counted them.

Ate them.

One.

By.

One.



Until Babba intervened.



And cut short the binging.



And I got into the action.



But still, most cookies ended up in our tummmies.

Unadorned.



On our side only five made it to the actual finale of being decorated.

I love - LOVE - the Christmas season.

I really used to never care before I had kids.

The magic of the season truly comes when there are little believers around.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
