cookie decorating

A week or two before Christmas we all gather at Great Aunt Jeans house to decorate Christmas cookies. She always has them baked and homemade frosting whipped up. We get out all the little do-dads and sprinkles and spend the evening creating cute cookies.
There is always an intense concentration when one is creating such a beautiful thing.
We pause during the decorating to order pizza for dinner and then it is back to the cookies to finish them up. As the boys are studying for their pop culture challenge next month I brought along the Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture cards. We sat around the fire reading questions to one another. The boys boggled the mind of mom with all the strange things they have stuffed into their brains.
