A Little Last-Minute Holiday Baking

My grandson, CJ informed me the other day that we needed to have some CHRISTMAS cookies to leave for Santa Claus when he comes in a few days. We still have some cookies left from the cookie exchange at church, but he said those were not CHRISTMAS COOKIES. So, since it is so absolutely frigid outside today, it seemed like a great day to warm up the kitchen with some holiday baking. I put all my little elves to work. Here's CJ, his Auntie Molly and his Mama Jessica cutting out cookies.

CJ thought it was great fun to cut them out...

Of course, he kept choosing star-shaped cookie cutters,

of which I have about 5 different ones. Here's Molly doing a little decorating


And CJ Trying his hand at it

He was VERY proud of these beautiful creations of his. Do you think he inherited his grandmother's decorating talents???
Grandma had better stay away from them though, today is Monday and you know what that means...It's Weight Watcher Weigh-in day. I'll let y'all know how that went later.
