Making Christmas Cookies

Current Mood:

Mom, dad, Abby and Margaret were over today to help me and Steve make Christmas cookies :-). Steve baked the cookies while Abby, Margaret and I frosted them :-). We had fun :-). The first cookies to be frosted were always the ones that had some morbid quality to it: a missing leg, a star with only four rays, things like that :-). We made headless angels, bloody people--Abby even made that 4-ray star into a headless Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants :-). Needless to say we used up a lot of red frosting :-).

What I enjoyed more than anything though was having family over at the apartment. I loved the sound of laughter that didn't belong to just me and Steve. I loved seeing the dogs curled up on the floor with Abby and Margaret. I loved how Jack kept begging dad for cookies. I loved how mom helped us make frosting.

I loved the huge stack of dishes that needed to be washed when it was all over. To me, it was the proof of an afternoon well-spent :-).
