Decorating Christmas Cookies

You can tell we have babies in our life when I bought a Christmas cookie kit from @kingarthurbaking. I think the last time I frosted a Christmas cookie was when I was a kid.

I decided to bake the cookies and mix the icing ahead of time so we could easily take everything over to @abrandt1026. It was so much fun, and chaotic, as we put everything on the table and got to work mixing colors into the icing. Little Miss Phoebe was our quality control operator with Bonny Doon taking care of maintenance of most things that hit the floor.

I played Christmas music as we all laughed passing around the various tubes of icing to create our cookie masterpieces. Alex and I decided that Big Guy, who really did not want to decorate cookies, was the best decorator of us all. He has hidden talents, and this was an apparent secret superpower that was unleashed in the spirit of the holiday.
