Cookies and Cocktails

This past Saturday was a busy one for the Sborz gals. First we started out the day baking cookies at my mom's house. Cookie baking has become a Christmas tradition for us. Over the years my best friends Courtney and Sara have joined in. This year was special because we all have a little one now. I can't wait until next year when Tucker and Payton are old enough to join in on the fun - this year they just hung out in the bouncers.

We had to get Payton in on cutting at least one cookie.


Check out those new mommy roots! Yikes!! Sitting in a chair for two-three hours to get highlights is not on the top of my mommy to-do list right now. Don't worry, I have an appointment set! I can't let myself go too bad, right?



The kids favorite part is icing and sprinkles of course! Let me tell you, two toddlers and sprinkles is rather interesting. My nephew took a liking to my pal Sara - it was love at first sprinkle!


 

This day is one of my favorite days of the year! I hope it is a tradition that carries on for many years to come. It is so special now that we are adding new additions has the years go on.



Here were the new additions this year. 



Baking cookies really wore Baby P out, so she took a little nap in between cookies and my mom's annual Christmas gathering. 


After a few hours at home in was time to return to my mom's for a little Christmas gathering. My mom throws a good party with lots of yummy treats. 



I love being at her house during the holidays because she goes all out with the decorations. We even have our own stockings at her house and her tree always looks like something out of a catalog.




It's so nice to be with friends and family during the holiday season and this year it was great for Payton to meet those people special to us that she hadn't had the privilege of meeting yet. 




To get the recipe for the sugar cookies check out last years post of cookie baking fun. 

If you love the apron I'm wearing you can get one from BellaBeeDesigns. My students gave me the one I'm wearing for Christmas last year. I absolutely love it! If it is possible to feel cute in an apron this is it!

Here is a better picture of it taken last year.
