Cookies for Santa.

Just over a week ago now, Brooke and I went to a local cookie shop (Cookies by Design) to decorate cookies for Santa. I enjoyed it because THEY did all of the baking, preparing and the best part cleaning up! Brooke enjoyed being around the other kids because like me, she loves to watch people. If you live around here I think it is by far the best bang for the buck when it comes to pictures with Santa. We got two huge cookies to decorate, a goodie bag filled with all sorts of things (including my fav, a cookie of the month membership), and a picture with Santa framed all included for a mere $10.....AND I didn't have to go to the MALL!!
Brooke having fun decorating.

I had to throw this one in....notice the tongue of concentration....

Brooke was having a blast, then the big man made an entrance. It was a high schooler who in my opinion was a Graham Harrell look alike....but to the kids in the room, they gasped as they saw Santa.

Brooke's reaction to Santa....what you cannot tell from the picture is that she was hiding behind my thigh, with her arms wrapped very tightly.....like I was going to sell her to Santa or something!

The finished cookies......and yes, they were tasty. We will make more for Santa tomorrow night, Cooper managed to get one (and got in trouble of course) and Brooke and I shared the other one....sorry Steven. ;o)



This is the closest to Santa Brooke would get....and if you cannot tell by the picture, I am pushing her away from my chest to get her even THIS close! Oh well, maybe next year she won't be scared of the guy!
