Avery and I (along with G, KJ and the Armato's) spent Saturday night and pretty much all day Sunday baking dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies. We made sprinkle Sugar cookies, Candy Cane Cookies, Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies, Cornflake Wreaths, and my Grandma Hopkins' Christmas Cookies (THE WORLD'S BEST). This was the first year Avery really got into it - She helped me prepare and mix most of the batter and decorated a lot of cookies (while also eating a ton of toppings and icing!). It was a lot of work but worth it - We made cookie tins for all of her teachers that she'll get to pass out to them tomorrow. And we made tons to keep for ourselves.
We ended the day watching One Magic Christmas together - My favorite Christmas movie growing up! Love watching it with my kids.\
I have such amazing memories of making Grandma's Cookies as a kid with her and my cousins. Warms my heart to pass it along to Avery!
