One of our family’s biggest traditions of the whole year is decorating cookies the night before Thanksgiving. First, we eat Rudy’s BBQ, then we decorate cookies, then we celebrate the 5 birthdays in November. We take it very seriously.
Here is the table spread, and me with my sister Shelley. We use sugar cookies in different shapes, icing, sugar candies, squirt icing and cake decorations, and sprinkles. Good for all ages!
8 cousins plus Rome the baby top left. We range from ages 6 months to 26 years old.
I made the longhorn, top left. Also a football and two I can not decipher. Do not know the artists of these.
I also made a turkey with candy corn feathers.
And this pretty circle. I was going for some swirly piping.
Jeffrey tries too. He makes a Black and White Cookie. That’s all.
And then he gets distracted by this cute little 6 month old girl.
And this is sugar overload. We are so creative and colorful.
If that isn’t enough sugar, we also indulge in this chocolate cake for the birthdays. It was once devoured in one day by four cousins. No names named here.
The birthdays minus one.
And then we rest to get ready for the next day of eating. Lily too.
I love decorating cookies! And cupcakes, too. I always help my Dad’s wife decorate the Christmas cookies each year. Looks like a really fun time and I love that Jeffrey’s black and white cookie in the sea of colors and candy. Hilarious.
I haven’t decorated cookies in far too long- it’s so fun though!! And I love eating the candy while I’m making them
