With the Holidays comes our traditional cookie making. Each year we make sugar cookies and decorate them for the Holidays. Then we deliver some to the children's primary teachers and other friends we feel might be a little lonely during this season.
We picked out Holiday shapes and colors and everyone had fun making a mess.
This year we found a penguin shaped cutter in our collection and we had to make penguins. You see, ever since we saw real live penguins at Sea World last month Benjamin has been very found of the little animals. He calls them "Waddles" because that is what they do. It is amazing how many places penguins can be found in our everyday lives especially because we have never considered ourselves penguin people. But Benjamin has found them all!
Nato decorated this special penguin. This one will probably be left for Santa from Benjamin. Emma wants to leave a Red Angel cookie for him that is COVERED in red sugar sprinkles and Jacob is still indecisive. This is mostly from the fact that each cookie he made, and is fond of, he wants to eat himself. Oh, the mind of a six year old!
When all was done we each enjoyed the fruits of our labor. Benjamin had to have a penguin. Can you tell it had lots of dark blue icing on it?

A penguin cutter? How fun!! Those cookies turned out super cute. I made sugar cookies yesterday. Today we have friends coming over to frost and sprinkle them. I have to admit, I really don't like making them. But the kids had fun helping by pushing all the flour all over the floor!
