Traditions...

We went to see the Rockettes on Saturday night - it was an incredible show! I have always heard that the Christmas show was great, but it far exceeded any expectation I could have held. I would suggest it to everyone :)
Graham and I have now begun what we decided would be our Christmas tradition...making Christmas cookies! :) Growing up, my sister and I would always go to my Grandmother's house around Christmas time and make/decorate Christmas cookies. I have missed doing this over the past couple of years, so last night Graham and I decided to get all of the ingredients to make the cookies and icing, and then some fun things to decorate the cookies with. Eventually I would like to say we would be making the cookies from scratch just as my grandmother did...but for now a sugar cookie mix had to do. I wasn't too sure how much my husband would really enjoy decorating cookies, but I think that he actually liked it! I am going to have to find some cookie cutters, icing recipe, and more fun sprinkles/decorations for next year, but for our first year I think that it was just perfect :)

I hope everyone is enjoying this Christmas season - we are truly blessed!

My husband hard at work!

Such a mess...but so much fun :)
