Making cookies

Last week, and probably the week before (I can't remember, they all run together), Gretchen started working on her Christmas cookies. She finally finished them, including the frosting, on Saturday. On Friday, she was working on the cut-out cookies when she asked me to get her headband so she could keep her hair out of her face. When I found it, I put it on Augie and sent him to see mom.

Problem was, he thought it was more fun to wear it around than to give it to mom. He sure did look like one tough cookie with that thing on.

Gretchen was just happy Augie was happy.

But she was all business when it came to making cookies.

On Saturday, Gretchen recruited some helpers to frost that giant pan full of cut-out cookies. Other cookies were made, but these are everybody's favorite, so millions of them are made.

See. And this isn't even all of them.
