12 Days of Christmas { Cookie Decorating }

I thought I'd start a 12 Days of Christmas this year! 
I love the holidays so why not?!

Who doesn't love a sugar cookie over the holidays? 

Especially one that was iced and decorated by someone you heart!

This weekend (among many other things) I had a small group of girls over to decorate some cookies! 

I supplied the cookies and icing and other treats and they brought the decorating items!  I made just over a hundred gingerbread and sugar cookies the night before and I was exhausted. 

It ended up being a lovely afternoon of eating, being creative, and just hanging out and catching up with the girls! 

Here's just a couple of pictures of the day and all the cookies we came up with!

It was my first cookie decorating paty, I think...

And it was fun!  Althought our decoarting rivals that of 2nd graders, I'm thinking about making it a tradition!
