Cookie making at Grandma's is also a Christmas tradition. I can't wait until my children can enjoy all these fun traditions in their lives. Anyway, this year the tradition also included lots of adults "helping." I think adults enjoy being creative just like the kids...and if you have colored cookie dough, the creativity just oozes out.
My mother-in-law works at a public school and one of the fundraisers they have is selling cookie dough. This year she decided to buy "play-dough cookie dough" and look at all the cool ideas!
Even SM got involved. He made a snow man that you will see in a later picture.
I wish I could have recorded the laughter and noise. There were so many kids talking at once. It was a great event.
A little help from Grandma never hurts...especially when using a cookie cutter.
And while the cookies were baking, the nieces and nephews played chess. Yes, chess, a game I have yet to really learn. They all love it and play it often. Hopefully when they are adults they will be into playing all the games that "we" adults play when we get together. I think at one time, all of these kids play or played on their school chess team. I think it starts in second grade.
See that middle snowman cookie? That's the one that SM made. It's just lovely and cooked up beautifully.
We had a great time and are grateful to Grandma for all her traditions!!
