MAKING CHRISTMAS TREATS

I have been waiting for the days when Gentry and I could do crafts together, cook together, and have fun in the process - of course.  Thanks to Pinterest - I saw this great idea to make Christmas Trees out of sugar cones.  Gentry loved it.  Anytime to get our hands messy is fun.....(ok, not all the time - but I know how to let go every now and again...).  So two things I have learn out of the process is:  1.)  Wax paper is necessary and makes for easy cleanup.  2.)  I WILL  do this every year with the kids.

We collected all kinds of foods to decorate with:  chocolate chips, sprinkles, white-chocolate covered raisins, 3 colors of icings, marsh mellows, and  M & Ms.....

I even found food decorating pins.....

....AND COOKIES.....

I finally put the seasonal cookie cutters I got at my wedding shower in 2003 to use.....It only took 9 years.

....AND NOW WE ARE READY FOR SANTA....
