Decorating cookies is a Holiday must - at least in my opinion. My sister Erin and I decided to make some Easy Press Cookies. We thought this might be a little bit easier for our kiddos to decorate!!

My Niece did a whole lot more eating decorations AND dough than she did actually decorating the cookies. I'm sure she had a mouthful of candy, but she was giving us her "happy smile!" .JPG)
Not only did Zach take this task very seriously, he definitely used most of the decorations. He literally mounded the candy on top of the cookies..JPG)
Seth enjoyed our cookie time...he decorated the cookies, ate the decorations and then followed it up by licking the remaining decorations out of his plate. He really doesn't like to waste things...especially sugar! He takes after his Daddy!.JPG)
All three kiddos...being silly as usual. I guess as a Mom I have this idea in my head about how something like cookie decorating should go - sweet, quiet, clean, and pretty. I almost romanticize the idea of it all...but kids are all alike...silly...love sugar...messy...and just want to have a good time!
Looking back...the memory are great...even though our cookies weren't really edible and didn't quite look like Martha Stewart's!!

I think the cookies look great, but I also know about romanticizing the experience. I did the same with our cookie baking and had to also let it go. However, I think in the end you are right and all the really matters is having a good time.
love the pics and Zach definately did the best decorating! My girls miss the boys so much. For the first three days Emi asked for "Eyaaiii" every time she got out of bed and she'd run to the top of the basement stairs looking for him:( so sad!
Looks like had fun and I bet they would eat them if you let them. Pretty cute. NV Grandma
