A family that bakes together, stays together. What better way to spend an late morning then making those traditional sugar Christmas cookies. I think what made it extra special was having grandparents here. My in laws traveled from the great frozen north (Michigan's upper peninsula) to have some time together. It was time that was much needed. We got our hands nice and dirty rolling out the dough, making our Christmas shapes, and of course eating some dough.

And here are some of our finished cookies. My decorating skills are terrible. The thinking here is that they won't last long enough to care what they look like! Great job everyone.
