(Please notice ALL THE SPRINKLES!)

One of my favorite memories of Christmastime from when I was a child was decorating Christmas cookies with my sister.

My mom would bake the cookies, make the icing, give us the bowls full of sprinkles, and let us do what we want.

Much like Alice, I wanted ALL THE SPRINKLES!

I love the Christmas cookie decorating tradition.

We always set a few aside to include in our gift baskets to our neighbors, and they are loved.

The kids are so proud of their creations, and I am so happy to be able to do this with my own children.

That’s like…a lot of sprinkles.  A lot, a lot. (There was a sprinkle-lid-fail at work here!)

Seriously concentrating.

Tom pretty much immediately ate whatever he decorated!

Beautiful masterpieces!
