It's Not Christmas Without Cookies

Hi, everyone!! Sorry I've not posted in a while, but I'm back now! :)

We had a super great time yesterday decorating sugar cookies with some church ladies! So I thought I would share some pictures. Most Khmers have never decorated cookies before in their life, so guiding them through the process was really fun! A few of the older ladies just wanted Mom and I to decorate all 12 of theirs because they claimed it was too hard to figure out. As the day wore on I saw them pick up a frosting bag a time or two and further embellish their cookies. :) This one older lady in particular really loved the sprinkles. She put sprinkles on all of hers, then went ahead and put them on the lady's next to her! Without asking! 😂 All the ladies love each other and so she wasn't upset or anything. :)

I think everyone did a great job!! Some cookies turned out better than others as even mine do. :) I don't want to show favorites by saying whose I think are the cutest, but some of the ladies really showed a creative and artistic side that no one expected! Hope you enjoy the pictures! :)

These came out so cute!! 💕

Each lady received one dozen cookies in a container with a lid to take home. 

My mom and I did a few examples.

The ladies dove right in...

Well, a few people wanted to look for ideas on the internet first. :)

Everyone was so concentrated!! The frosting (especially the white with the regular tip)

was being passed around so often that it was hard to get it! Most ladies waited their 

turn for a specific frosting they needed, but others just worked with whatever was closest. :)

It took about 2 hours for everyone to finish. Everyone did such an amazing job!

Several people were way more creative than I will ever be!

The kids were supposed to be watched upstairs by my younger siblings, 

but they were behaving so well that they were allowed to stay down in the living room.

Here are two sisters having a good time playing with LEGO and the well-known 

Fisher-Price Little People. :)

We ended up with 15, but there were five or six others who really wanted to come

but couldn't for various reasons. 

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you enjoyed all of the pictures! Leave a comment below if you'd like, and stay tuned for more posts this month. We have several special things planned and I hope to be able to post about some if not all of it! Have a great day! :)
