Cookies for Santa

Owen and Autumn's Mimi came down from Colorado to celebrate Christmas with us, okay who am I kidding, not "us" but definitely our kids. Brandon and I know where we have fallen on the priority list. Owen was attached to his Mimi's hip the entire time she was here. About 2 nights before Christmas Owen and his Mimi decided to make some sugar cookies for Santa. They made a big mess and had an absolute blast doing so. I sat back and tried to remind myself, "its okay everything can get cleaned up." It was a fun memory for them and they really had so much fun. Owen loved decorating the cookies/eating all the sprinkles and m&m's. Owen was a pro using the cookie cutters. Mimi just had to help him pick them up once he cut them.
They let the cookies cool overnight and then decorated the next day, hints the different outfits. Here is Mimi icing the cookies while Owen put on the sprinkles and M&M's.
He was very detailed while decorating. When he finished each cookie he had to wait for one of us to put it on the cookie rack so he could decorate the next one. Very particular.
Look how focused he is. Too funny.Their final masterpieces.
Just in case you were wondering what Autumn was up to during the cookie making. Next year sweetie, next year.
