Our Holiday Tradition

And so I began my morning with a picture of Thomas in pajamas and the day is wrapping up with another picture of Thomas in pajamas--different pajamas, though, he did get dressed today!

I tried all week to make a batch of sugar cookies but never got to them. I made huge chocolate chip cookies baked in a heart pan and a pretty pink cake instead, and I even wondered if maybe we would just skip Valentine's sugar cookies this year until last night when Thomas asked me when we would be making our "heart cookies with the yummy pink frosting and the sprinkles on top". Of course, I had to make them. So, after dinner but before Toby was put down for the night, we cut them out and baked them. As they cooled, Toby went off to bed and Thomas had to agree to get in his pajamas. I frosted them and gave all sprinkling duties to Thomas who was very good at his job. He put the sprinkles on faster then I could frost the cookies!

There will probably be one more batch of sugar cookies made over the next 4 or 5 weeks. With Easter in March this year, I'll have to decide on St. Patrick's Day cookies or Easter cookies...I'm not doing both! Then, I will most likely put away the rolling pin until October again!

Until later,

Emily
