Cut out sugar cookies are my kids favorite Christmas cookies.  And I must confess that they are my favorite to make. 

Because, the mess and the silliness, and the giggles, I love it!

 

 

 

I typically have them cut out the cookies one day and we decorate them another.  This year we decorated them with our cousins.

More kids, more mess, more fun!

 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania with my family.

 

On the way home, we stopped at a new to us tree farm to cut down our tree.

 

It was an unseasonably warm day and we had a wonderful time finding our tree.  Looking forward to the Christmas season!
