Christmas Cookies

I had the boys over last weekend to make Christmas cookies. I had pre-made the cut-out sugar cookies and the boys got to help mix up 6 colors of frosting.

 We had to do a lot of mixing and adding powdered sugar to get just the right consistency.

 Grant is wearing the Christmas apron that my grandma Ames made for our girls. Carsten insisted on one that didn't look like a "girl" apron. They did a great job decorating the cookies!

 Then we made my grandma Dunivent's sugar cookie recipe where you roll the dough into balls, dip them in colored sugar and then bake them. Carsten got bored and let Grant take over. Grant really enjoyed rolling the balls and was very good at making them the same size. Rena said his teachers at pre-school say his favorite thing is doing the housekeeping jobs. He will make someone a good husband some day!!  It's pretty cute considering what a tough boy he can be.
