I've made Christmas cookies for as long as I can remember. I loved having my little children 'help' me. We shared our tradition with our neighbors in Spain, went through a time of 'surly' teenagers who only grudgingly helped, and now it is a firm Lewis Family tradition.
I was happy that Monica asked me to help her bake cookies to take to her friends. Argentina must be a lot like Spain where a family would think nothing of cooking an elaborate meal with multiple courses, but would go to the bakery for dessert.
 |
| This was the first time she had ever baked and she was a natural! |
 |
| Our little helper Isabella enjoyed the tradition too. |
 |
| When we were done we had 7 beautiful plates of cookies ready for Monica's closest friends to enjoy her new skill! |
 |
| They tasted as good as they looked. |
 |
| Friday night after Scott was in Eagle, we continued the tradition with a family cookie decorating session. I had to laugh when Matt said that a friend asked him to come over and he said, "No I can't. We are having a family cookie decorating night." He said his friend laughed but I am glad those boys decided to stay home and be with us. They are master cookie decorators! |
 |
| Monica and John had fun too. Monica has been hiding her artistic talents! |
 |
| Isabella was really into it too...looking at the photos you will soon know her very favorite part! I think we would designate her as our taste tester. |
 |
| She loved the sprinkles or as she said, "wrinkles". Every time she said, "More wrinkles please", it made me laugh! |
 |
| Aren't Grandmas and Grandpas supposed to hype their grandkids up on sugar and then send them home to bed? I think it is in the job description! |
