Merry Christmas to all!!
I have mentioned my family's tradition of making the craziest Christmas cookies known to human-kind... I thought it was time to share the photos which bear witness to our insanity! We begin with homemade sugar cookies, several colors of frosting, sprinkles, etc. This is a fun family event and while quite hysterical, note the serious faces as the cookies are created.
Edwards children hard at work on their masterpieces! Aaron (far right) and Ian (center) each had a plan. Bethany was creative on the fly!
Crissie joined us this year and while she enjoyed the decorating, I am sure she was overwhelmed by the creative insanity around her.
Doug's cookies were fabulous, but he too has on his "game face" for crazy cookie seriousness!
Doug and my cookies together. I want to be sure you know that I DID NOT make that bikini clad snow-woman! I did however create the snowman in the alps outfit.
Aaron sharing his masterpiece - Two Face (Harvey Dent) from Batman!
Ian sharing one of his ZZ-Top characters! His ZZ Top guys were great!
Bethany working on her gamer-boy. See the first photo for a cute close up of the headphone wearing gamer cookie.
Ian's cookies included ZZ-Top, an Alice Cooper tree, Darth Vader, a candy CANE, an exploding star, and a wild tree.
Aaron's cookies included Two Face, Venom (from Spiderman), Spiderman, a cane, Batman snowflake, a vampire snow head, and a mean tree. I love the mean tree!
One other tradition, whether intentional or not, is that we tend to eat our least favorite cookies first. Several of the lesser cookies are gone, but the more fun ones live on!
I wish you much happiness and joy today and in the new year - whether that includes crazy cookies, time with family, paper crafting, or quite reflection!
