Starting a Christmas Tradition

One Christmas tradition I want to always have with my children (whether they're girls or boys) is making and decorating sugar cookies. Ethan got to really be a part of the baking and decorating this year.

Ethan learned how to read the recipe before we began:

And how to measure...

And then our photographer had to take a bathroom break, so we didn't get any pictures of Ethan rolling out and cutting the cookies. He really enjoyed pushing down each cookie cutter and did a great job!

Ethan learned the hardest part is the wait...

But it's soooooo worth it!


Yum, yum! We sent most of those cookies to Ethan's daycare ladies, and mine and Lonnie's coworkers. We're planning on making more tomorrow - can't wait!
