Grandmas Annual Christmas Cookie Decorating Party

As I'm doing this blog, Christmas is now over and I'm looking at these pictures and it truly brings tears to my eyes. What joy fills my heart as I see each one so happy and it thrills me as a grandma to be creating some fun, fun memories for them. Jared, Shana and Troy still talk of the times they got together  with their cousins at their grandma and grandpa's home to decorate their Christmas cookies.

Look at the happy faces on these kids. Aren't they just the cutest? 

Look at how serious they are. Presley even has her tongue hanging out. lol Easton is placing his decorations so carefully on his cookie.

Makinley loves the frosting. And Daxton has so many decorations on his cookie!! I bet it will taste so good.

I had lots of yummy treats to put on their cookies. I had made so many cookies that the kids got bored and the adults chimed in on the decorating.

Papa and Shana are helping out. Hadley is 2 now and loved getting in on the action this year.

Jared had snuck some cookies before the party had even started!!I love that the adults even love decorating too.

Oh Easton is so proud of his cookie. He should be! Look how delicious it looks.

Since Brayden is 11 now he is the decorating expert. His cookies were so precise with the decorations and looked so beautiful.

Oh Hadley Bug..she loves dressing up and coming out and showing everyone how pretty she looks.

Gentry is 6 now and does a great job. 

Now we're starting to decorate the grand kid tree. They each have their own ornaments and love putting them on. Some even have pictures of when they were just little so it's fun for them to look back at what they used to look like.

Brayden didn't really need crutches but was just playing with them. 

This is such a fun tradition for me to do with the grand kids. I hope they don't get tired of it. Easton and Gentry love it too.
We had Mel and Michelle and Abigail over for dinner and sharing the evening with us since Mel and Michelle are leaving for the MTC to serve their mission. I'm glad they enjoyed being with us and sharing the night with our family traditions.
