One of our favorite traditions is to make Christmas cookies with Grandma and Grandpa Bock (Kevin's parents). They bring all the items needed for the cookies and the kids roll the dough (eat a bit of dough), cut the cookies (eat a bit of dough), paint the cookies (eat a bit of dough) and finally put them in the oven to cook (and then eat a few cooked cookies). Needless to say all 3 of my children were hyped like crazy tonight-- just a bit of sugar cookie overload!!!
Owen was very into the whole process. He even took 2 of the mitten cookies and 2 of the stocking cookies and created a "pair" of each. 
The bakers were all assembled in the kitchen with grandma at the helm!
Mia was also very into the process. She was cutting the shapes like crazy and then tasted a little piece of dough and from that point on kept eating the dough-- we had to take it away and she was a tad unhappy.
Who is that mitten girl??
Ethan and Grandma- so sweet!!
Ethan was very into the painting designs on his cookies. He really made some cool cookies and plans to give some of them away to his teacher.
Such a good big brother!!
Yes the adults did a few cookies as well. Kevin is displaying his creations and Don got to play as well-- I just took a bunch of pictures :)We had a great time-- like we do each year. Thanks sooooooo much Grandma and Grandpa Bock for the wonderful cookie making time!!!!
