Painting Christmas Cookies

As soon as Randy suggested painting cookies with Jacob, I knew Jacob would LOVE the idea. (We used to do this fairly often when I was younger, but we haven't in a few years. It was fun to do again!) Jacob loves art & loves cookies, so this was a big hit with him.


Here he is getting a little pre-instruction from Daddy:



Here he is painting his Christmas tree cookie:




Getting more frosting:

Concentrating hard! (Whenever he's working/concentrating on something, he sticks his little tongue out. It's so cute!!)

Here I am trying to get him to display his finished product to me:

Papa needs to help - but the cookie turned out great! (one of many, naturally) I think Jason did that red garland though ;) As you can see from the picture above, THAT Christmas tree cookie (with the pile of M&M's in the center) was all Jacob.

Overall, he had a blast! Though his poor bruised eye created confusion. Both my mom & I would look at him and think that he had painted his face. It was just the bruise :(
