We decided to decorate cutout cookies this year and had a ton of fun while we put icing and sprinkles on the cookies. Unfortunately, a nasty round of the flu tore through the house and all the cookies had to be tossed (pun completely intended). 😉

Since all the cookies were gone and we had nothing to leave out for Santa, we decided to bake a whole new batch and have Andrew help us out when he came to town. Round two of decorating ended up being even MORE fun.

Round 1 (12/11/10):

We ended up decorating almost 3 dozen cookies and having plenty to split between the Samulski and the Jones/Alt households.
