288. Cookie Decorating Party 2011

Yesterday, we hosted our Annual Cookie Decorating Party. Of course, the Scagliones and the Moultons were there. We have been getting together after Thanksgiving for years to bake and decorate cookies. At first, it was a lot of work; We had to help the kids with almost everything. These days, I just give them some dough and let them go at it! All 7 kids participate... Even Nicholas and Dominic who are now 15 years old! And of course, the adults have a great time catching up. This year, we added something extra; While the cookies were cooling off, we played some volleyball. Everyone had a great time... Here are a few of my favorite photos from the party:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We baked about 12 dozens cookies... I say about because some of us ate them as they were coming out of the oven! The kids decorated about 2/3 of them. Everyone took lots of cookies and some wonderful memories home with them!
