Christmas Cookies

I knew we really should bake some sugar cookies this year since Lacy so enjoys helping in the kitchen. However, trying to get ready for Christmas with a 3 year old AND a baby, I knew finishing the entire process would just be too much for me, especially since we had been SO busy having loads of fun during the Christmas season. SO, I opted out to buy the pre-made dough and just have fun rolling, cutting, baking, and decorating the cookies. Eddy picked up a bunch of dough for us and what I thought would be a couple hour project during nap time turned into a half-day cookie extravaganza! And...Lacy absolutely LOVED it. Definitely worth the unexpected turn of the day! Oh...and the massive mess that was created:)

Yes, I did some of these cookies, but I was impressed with how well Lacy did at hers...and all by herself. See if you can spot them out:)

"Mommy, is this too many sprinkles?"  :)

THE MESS:
