Mmmm, Yummy Cookies

While we were in Georiga visiting the Nichols side of our family Beth made gingerbread cookies for the kids to decorate. They had a blast, and really got to do the decorating themselves. I was not involved in the process at all.....which is good....I tend to "help" too much and try to make the cookies (or whatever project we are working on) look perfect, probably at the expense of the fun of decorating. I am really going to have to hold myself back when the kids start doing science projects for school.
The kids really enjoyed having full creative power when it came to their cookie decorations.

Mmmm, delicious, eh? Looks like a cookie that was in some sort of an accident. One of the red hot "eyes" is lying next to his gingerbread head. And wow, what happened to the rest of him? I'm thinking reconstructive surgery is out and some one should just go ahead, gobble him up, and put him out of his misery. Ok, seriously, this cookie was created by Zoe, who is only 3 yrs old and did a great job for her age division. See what I mean? I get a little too intense about projects.

This one at least resembles a man, a little heavy on the gumdrops, but hey, we've all got flaws.

And here we have Asa, dressed as Joseph for the Christmas Story the kids acted out, enjoying one of his delicious creations.
