On December 23rd, we held our first annual Co-op Kid Sugar Cookie Day. I had fond memories of making Christmas cookies, fudge and other candy, and, later as we got older, doing Christmas crafts with my Grandma, mom and aunt. This year, I decided our brood was old enough to enjoy decorating "gingerbread" (really graham crackers) houses and sugar cookies, so I invited all the Co-op Kids, Ben, Jolie and Peyton over for a sugarfest.
 |
| I stocked up on a wide assortment of decorating goodies. Teenie brought a few batches of sugar cookies, which was fortunate as she is an excellent baker. My cookies turned out not-so-pretty (but tasted good...that's why we decorate them, right?). |
 |
| Lots of little hands decorating gingerbread houses. They were quite patient when they needed help with the frosting to assemble their houses; they just waited patiently while eating all the candies on the table. |
 |
| Kate watching Teenie and me discuss the finer points of constructing gingerbread houses. |
 |
| Ben, eyeing the goodies. |
 |
| ND didn't make a house; she just ate red-colored candies. |
 |
| Amy, licking her fingers. |
 |
| Jolie and her daddy. She kept that dress clean throughout all the chaos. |
 |
| This is the house that Glory built. |
 |
| Kate's house. Built by a nurse practitioner, not an engineer. Lots of room for improvement next year. |
 |
| The delicious fruits of our labor! |
