Last weekend we decided to change things up and instead of building a gingerbread house, we made gingerbread men. I made the dough for cut out cookies and baked them. Once they were cooled off, I let the girls decorate them.
OH MAN, did they have fun.
They made a huge mess, but it was worth it. Just look at the smiles on their faces.
Of course Reagan was the first one to take a bite:)
They went a "tad" overboard with the icing and sprinkles and decided that their cookies did not taste quite as good as the ones Mommy made. I was not as heavy handed as they were!!
We never made it to see Santa, so that is on the list for this weekend!
Slowly but surely we are getting there. Cookies were baked, Christmas cards are done and out. Now I just need to finish shopping and wrapping. One more week to go...... I can't believe it!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Special thanks to my good friend Jodee who sent the girls these adorable "R" and "S" Christmas Shirts!!
They are so fun and festive....and totally cute. We love them.

Love how you let them have fun decorating cookies all on their own. Every time I see a new picture of Reagan I'm so shocked at how big she looks.
So glad you're almost done with all the preparations. I know you've been so busy these past few days, weeks, months. Hope you'll be able to slow down and enjoy the next week.

Just looking at your beautiful girls makes my day Lisa, thank you so much for sharing this!

As I always say, more icing = better cookie! The cuteness is in overload!
Have a great weekend.

Oh my goodness- Lisa- what fun! Those smiles are so infectious!
I just love what you do with your girls. It reminds me of the great mothering of M3.
So cute! We going to do it!
Oh what fun!!! Love their expressions as they're decorating....I think we may attempt this next week.
Those shirts are adorable. :)
Sounds like you are getting finished with all your Christmas prep, enjoy your weekend Lisa!
hugs,

Aww. How fun. Sweet photos.
I love the shirts!! They just bring out the photos even moreso!! I stopped by the local Walmart and picked up what I thought was a "gingerbread house". Bre was so excited to get it open, that I never notice it was actually a "gingerbread VILLAGE"! I mean like seriously!!!! It was like opening a box of legos!! It was pieces/parts everywhere! I surveyed the packaging to look for a disclaimer that said : This product was intended for the child(ren) of an architect, engineer or ROCKET SCIENTIST. Bre and I opted for "frosted and decorated walls" of the gingerbread "village"! 0_o
That looks like so much fun! My boys would LOVE it!
Cute doesn't even begin to describe it! They're having a ball!
I wish they had those bags of icing here...maybe they do, I must visit the supermarket tomorrow and look! Usually I just use a spoon, but that bag looks very inviting, especially in red!
Love the S and R tops!
Looks like soooo much fun!! I think we will have try this this weekend:) LOVE the shirts!!
God Bless,
Diane
Total cuteness indeed. These photos bring back precious memories of decorating cookies with my little sister years ago!
Goodness, those two are cute!! I love their shirts. Looks like a fun day. Cookies with lots and lots of icing and sprinkles are a favorite activity at our house, too.
