Christmas Cookies

I am trying to do more in the kitchen with the boys these days. I thought making cookies would be a good activity for us. You have heard me mention that I meet with a bunch of ladies every Thursday at a local church. A few weeks ago, we baked tons of cookies for an organization called, "Cookies for Cancer." It was a lot of fun, so I figured I would let the boys in on it. It was messy, but Sam really got into it. I was surprised at how quickly he picked up on using the cookie cutters, etc. Sprinkles were a huge hit, and as you can see, in the pictures, they were very tasty. I forgot to do a picture of the final product. However, today after nap time, we are doing this again. This time Paw Paw is coming over to help.
Mattox rolling dough, while Sam throws as much flour on the floor as possible.

Sam couldn't help but snag a few pieces of cookie dough. The evidence is on his face. So cute.
Alas, we decorated with sprinkles. We even brought out the sprinkles from Easter that I we never used on anything. Who says snowmen and ginger bread men don't wear pink and purple?  :) The boys are digging the leftovers.
