Christmas Cookie Making

Mushrush Family Christmas Cookie Making!

Every year, we join in with families all around the world in making Christmas cookies!  We always begin with Grandma Mushrush's sugar cookies and then we have a selection of cookies that Bryon and I pick out.  The kids hear each option and pick the ones they like; one of the few things in our children's lives that is determined by democratic process. :)

 

 Usually, the mixing and dough making is done by Bryon.  This year, Molly was involved in every step.  Which, as you can imagine, was insanely exciting for her.

I think this is the first time she has used a mixer all by herself. (With parent supervision of course)

 Rolling out the dough.  

 

 Then comes selecting what shapes cookies we will be making and cutting out the cookies.  

  

Daniel decides it's time to quit playing with his cars and get in on the cookie making process.  We all know the story of the Little Red Hen.  Do the work, reap the benefits, aka, help make the cookies and get to sample the fresh hot cookies when they come out of the oven!

 

 This picture didn't come out well on the blog, but it's a great one of Daniel cutting out his star cookies.  

  

 Daddy putting the cookies in the oven.  House is starting to smell yummy!

  

Almost done, last bits of dough being rolled out and cut.
