The kids just LOVE making special Christmas cookies for Santa every year. We got a little lazy last Christmas and just did round cookies that I sliced, but the kids really wanted to use cookie cutters and do shapes.
So I ordered a set of cookie cutters and we got to work.
We made 4 small gingerbread houses this year instead of 1 big one, so each kiddo could decorate their own.
We constructed the houses on Friday night and waited to do all the decorating the next day.
We had all sorts of goodies set out to decorate with and the kids did a fantastic job of being creative!
So much fun!
Some finished products!
And finished gingerbread houses
This was how we left the cookies while we went to put the kids to bed...
but returned to find the entire left hand side of the tray missing cookies. MOOSE decided to enjoy some cookies (which all happened to be done by Colin and a special one ear-marked for Santa)
But we got over it and found a different cookie for Santa!
Hit Pizza shoppe for dinner after mass one night
Took a minute to say hello to Santa at the hostess stand
