Christmas baking

I really wanted to make homemade sugar cookies for the boys this year. I guess I'm feeling confident because my recent baking endeavors have been surprisingly successful (see photo of the ice cream cone cupcakes from Donovan's birthday in the slideshow on my earlier post). So, I ambitiously decided to do just that. I made the cookies and frosting from scratch. It was lots of fun and I must say, once again a success. While my decorating technique needs some improvement, overall, I think they cookies were fairly attractive and pretty tasty, too.

I also made some fudge - sorry no photo of that because our biggest elf got into it as soon as it was finished and cooled. And, of course, I made our secret family recipe for rice pudding that has been handed down for generations. Kevin wanted me to make banana bread, but the boys ate all of the bananas before they were ripe. That's a good reason not to make it, not to mention that if I had, I would have eaten more than anybody else in the family.
