cookies!

I was so excited this year to bake cookies with Gia. She is so much more into things this year and she LOVES her sweets. So I had planned to do it on a weekend before the christmas rush but then I got the stomach flu and was a mess so I did it the weekend before. It was kind of hilarious trying to bake with her. She did not listen to me and was touching EVERYTHING lol. Then I messed up 2 of the doughs, I was on a freaking roll. We finally got everything baked and decoarated and it was so fun. Then we brought Gia up to bed and Sadie ate like 30 cookies. I almost killed her!!! Well at least we had fun baking them!

everything ready to go
