Christmas Cookies

Today was a fun filled day.

Kai came over in the morning to help me bake cookies,no not just any cookies,but, Christmas cookies.

We had a lot of fun doing this,as we always do,but the real fun started in the evening.Steve and Kai came for supper,and after that we set up shop and began decorating the baked cookies.

I apologize for the darkness of this picture,but this was the scene at my kitchen table.The sugar,sprinkles and frosting.

Of course Steve had to capture this time as well.He is using his iPhone,while I used my regular camera.

I have star shaped cookie cutters,which when stacked just right form a tree.

Kai looks pleased with her tree,all decorated with frosting and sprinkles.

Here she is still putting on a few more sprinkles,to make it just perfect.

She decorated two trees. I must say they are perhaps the sweetest trees I have ever seen,both in reality and because they are made by my favourite baker/decorator.

This looks good enough to eat.Will you join me for a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of this beautiful Christmas tree?

I spent two days with Jake's brother and his family,over the weekend.

They live in Winnipeg and so we went out looking at all the Christmas decorations.

This house was by far the best I have seen in a long time.

All the decorations were synchronized to music,and the best part — they were accepting donations for Cancer Care.

The cookies are delicious,the lights beautiful,but let us not forget the REAL reason for Christmas,the birth of Jesus Christ.
