holiday baking tradition

We've made it a annual tradition to bake Christmas cookies with my mom in December. I love doing this cause (1) I LOVE cookies and love to taste every one of them, (2) Mya loves it just as much as I do (seeing her sneak in tastes cracks me up!), and (3) I love making traditions with the people I love. Ashley got to join us this year, I can't wait for her to be able to help out next year. Ashley had fun watching all the excitement. But you could tell she wanted to just eat it all too.
Mya picked out her stellar outfit, don't judge people, I choose my battles wisely.

Already snuck a rolo into her mouth, the chocolate came dripping out of her mouth.

Can I help mama??

So carefully coating the cookies with sugar.

first batch is in!

Fine I'll just eat this thing.

She loves decorating the sugar cookies...

...oh yea and tasting the sugar too...
