Christmas Cookie Extravaganza 2009

Thanks to our beautiful new kitchen and perfect work island, Christmas Cookie Extravaganza 2009 was held our our house this year. Megan was super excited to make cookies. The first morning of this 2 day process, Megan wake up and the first thing she said was "I wake up, make cookies!"
Cutting out tiny Christmas trees just for her.

She new exactly what to do when it came to decorating her cookies. As you can see we had many options for her.
She took her time to spread the icing.
She took her time to "accidentally" spread icing on her fingers. (Note: Our Chefs are not required to wear pants while in the kitchen. But only because the laundry staff didn't want to bother with food coloring stains!)
Watching Grandma very carefully to learn how to use a pastry bag to get really fun details on cookies. Because the prettier they look, the less calories they have! :)
After her quick lesson she was off. We couldn't get her cookies fast enough she was a decorating machine!
Her snowflake she embellished all by herself. She knew to put icing on all of the tips. I don't know about you, but all of us were impressed at her skill (remember she's 2)
A small, very small portion of our finished products.
Even Angie and Riley Ringman couldn't resist decorating cookies, it's addicting.
It was great fun spending 2 days make cookies and other treats. It made the hard work and $$$ for our new kitchen worthwhile. I love our new kitchen, can't wait for more family kitchen adventures.
Coming soon: Christmas pictures and pictures from our Chicago trip!
