SANTA!


Kate and Dean with Santa

Dean LOVED the cookies -- sprinkles are a super hit in our house.


Kate and her daddy decorating cookies. This is actually a tradition that Todd has with the kids. It was an added bonus to get to decorate cookies at church. But, starting the day after Thanksgiving Todd and the kids make cookies (on several occasions) leading up to Christmas. It is not just the cookie baking that is the tradition. It is the icing, then more icing, then sprinkles, then more sprinkles, then that third kind of sprinkles - that they top on them. By the time they are done there is more icing/sprinkles than cookie. It generally takes three containers to keep the cookies in b/c there is so much icing you can't stack them. Yes, we love our traditions.

Look at Todd stealing those kids' sprinkles. You know the tradition is just so that he has an excuse to break out the sprinkles and icing.
