Christmas Traditions Part 1

Last year we were in Arizona for Christmas.  

We had Christmas with Bill's family the week before. 

This will be our first Christmas as a family of 3 and thus want to have some traditions of our own. 

Our first tradition started because of a very tired little boy and a dad who needed to work on his last college paper due Sunday (more on that to come!).  

So while dinner was in the oven, David and I made cookies!

David is making sure the bowl doesn't fall off the counter!

Helping me get ready to measure sugar and flour

The best part: tasting the batter!  Thankfully, he didn't put his dough covered hands in his mouth.  If so, he'd really never eat nasty peas again!

The dough is for cut-out sugar cookies so later this week we'll be rolling, cutting, cooking and then frosting and decorating the cookies... more messiness (and pictures) to come!  I love it!
