Cookies, cookies, cookies

Christmas Eve morning I put everything out for the kids to decorate some cookies for Santa.  They had lots of fun and at times took their decorating tasks very seriously.  Beware, there are quite a few pictures to share.

The above pictures were from the beginning - BEFORE the little ones started licking the knives and dipping their fingers into the frosting and eating it.
I actually captured Claire in the process of eating frosting.  Thought it was so fun watching the excitement on her face.
Here are the results of the kids work.
For the family members worried that the cookies they ate last night might have been created by the kids - don't worry. After all of the fingers in the frosting, we decided to put these special cookies in their own box to be given to Santa and eaten by the kiddos
