Before we started the actual baking, we had a chat with our friends Christine and Spencer. It was so fun to include them on our day even though they live so far away.
Sue and I had some help with cutting the cookies out and putting them on the cookie sheet. Our little helpers also helped eat the extra little pieces of dough. Really, who could blame them? Cookie dough is the best.
Frosting the cookies was an interesting experience in itself. The icing turned out pink and light light green because of the all natural food coloring. And, being the expert frosting maker that I am, we used ziploc baggies to put the icing in and it kept leaking all over. While Sue and I were trying to frost quickly, the boys were picking up multiple cookies and taking a bite from each one. We left about a third of the cookies unfrosted because we were just done with the mess. They still tasted good, though!
Then, we all enjoyed some yummy hot cocoa. This was Joel's first time having his very own cup of cocoa. He was so happy and kept smiling as he drank his hot cocoa. Cohen loved it, too.
Baking cookies is one of my favorite Christmas activities, and it was so special to share this with good friends!

What a fun playdate - who could go wrong with cookies and hot cocoa! The boys look so cute in their aprons:-)
so much fun - cookie decorating w/multiple little guys is definitely more about the experience than the finished product.
Well...doesn't that look SUPER FUN! I love seeing the boys in their adorable aprons. CUTE! What a good day...and hot cocoa too? In sippy cups? It doesn't get much better than that!
Fun seeing Christine on the computer screen too. YAY!
