Baking cookies

I went into Christmas cookie baking mode. All day Sunday and most of Monday were spent in the kitchen. Of course Micah was on call and so it took me two days to get everything done with the help of the boys. I was hoping for some more pictures, but with messy hands and things constantly coming out of the oven, I was only able to take a few here and there.

One of my favorite memories growing up was helping my mom in the kitchen and the special jobs that were just for us...including unwrapping all the Hersey kisses for the peanut butter blossoms :)

Aiden was so systematic and they all had to be facing up.

Devin got to help clean off the spoons...it's a dirty job-but someone's got to do it!

So I had finally finished and organized all the cookies on plates and platters that were going to specific places...and I catch Devin red handed-literally! He's got red icing on him from somewhere and I have yet to find the cookie he got into-I'm thinking it's somewhere in his tummy....

All the cookies I put together for my neighbors. We bundled the kids up and set out to deliver the cookies, cards, and do some caroling to spread Christmas cheer! All of our neighbors loved it and it was fun doing it old school ;) Merry Christmas!
