Christmas Cookies!!!

I absolutely LOVE Christmas time. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. And one of the things I love MOST about Christmas time are Christmas cookies, and lucky for me, my mom has made a ton every single year. I remember helping her a little bit when we were little (and I believe that we have pictures to prove it to), so it’s become a tradition that I look forward to every December.

The last few years I haven't gotten to spend the whole day helping because of having other Christmas celebrations, but this year I got to spend pretty much the whole day helping out. It's always so much fun and I'm pretty sure we make more cookies every year. This year we made 52 and a quarter DOZEN cookies. Yes, that's 627 cookies!! Ridiculous. But oh-so-yummy.

Here's us at the end of the day...worn out...
And just for funsy's...here's Cookie Day 2007...But anyway, back to this year...Mom and me after all the cookies are done...
Simone posing by a tree...had to take a picture. So beautiful. :)

Sugar cookies with icing...we normally just do sprinkles on top, but this year we decided to do something a little different. Yum!

And then once I got home, I had to take a picture of the whole assortment (ignore all the powdered sugar) We made Butterballs, Sugar, Whippersnaps, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, and Macaroons (but I forgot to take one of those, we didn't make many) Don't they look delish??? :)

So there ya go. Yummy Christmas cookies! I think my Boot Camp instructor knows how many cookies I've eaten already because he definitely kicked our butts today. Oh well, I've got 17 months til the wedding...plenty of time to eat cookies. :)

Happy Holidays!
