Grandsons and Christmas Cookies

It was a cold day with rain and snow so it seemed like a good day to stay inside a bake gingerbread men with the grandsons. 5 year old Blake really got into; mixing, rolling out the dough, cutting and then decorating the cookies. 2 year old Nate was excited about it too, but didn’t understand that you don’t have to use all your weight when pushing in the raisin eyes. So his cookies were a little deformed, but they sure did taste good. Of course the fun thing was spending time with the boys.

We always feel like we are extra lucky to have two great boys for our grandsons. All the long hard hours of building our dream home were worth it when we get to spend some good quality time with the boys!

A little molasses on your face is ok when you are the person in charge of quality control

What wonderful memories y'all are making for the boys. When they are grown men they will never smell cookies without having warm fuzzy memories of their Grandparents.

Wonderful photo essay, Marcel. Aren't grandsons wonderful? What did we ever do before they were born. They bring light and laughter into our lives. Glad Grandma and Grandpa are enjoying their handsome grandsons.

Love and blessings for a very Merry Christmas.
