On the eighth Day of Christmas...

...my true love gave to me, eight maids a milking, and three children covered in frosting! We started a new tradition this year with my kids and my nephew. We all got together at my mom's house and the kids "made" cookies! :) First, we gave them rolled out sugar cookie dough to use the cookie cutters on. Then when we decided they had eaten enough dough, we gave them baked cookies with frosting on them and let them decorate the cookies with sprinkles and chocolate chips. It was the most fun I...I mean the kids have had in a long time! :D Definitely something we are going to do every year! We made a mess, but we had a blast! Good thing today's verse has milk in it, because with all the cookies we ended up with, we're going to need it! ;)
