Christmas cookies, the first batch

Last Friday, Branden and Noah and I baked some homemade Christmas cookies from scratch. I know the boys look forward to making Christmas cookies with mommy every year and to be honest I look forward to it too. : ) You can see some Christmas wrapping paper in the background because we've been wrapping presents like crazy since the first week of December.
Making the most fun out of our family time. : )

video
A little video of Branden and Noah making them. We listened to Christmas tunes like crazy and sang along while baking. "Judy Garland's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"....and everything in between from "Justin Bieber's version of the "Little Drummer Boy" to "Silent Night from Boyz ll Men" and even "Let It Snow by Ella Fitzgerald."
The first batch. Only 2 or 3 more batches to go! : )
Christmas tree close up! : )
