Christmas Cookies and Holiday Hearts

December 15th, 2009 by Jaclyn

Aunt Jen and Cousin Kelly came over yesterday to make some christmas cookies.  Kelly decorated the spritz cookies while Ben inspected (and taste tested!):  IMG_0735

Once the spritz cookies were done, Kelly and I rolled out the dough to make the tooteluch.IMG_6646

Aunt Jen took turns holding up all the Chislets so that everyone got a chance to see how Christmas cookies are made.

And of course, no family gathering would be complete without a tea party.  The kids organized this one all by themselves.
