Here Mikah is patiently watching grandma explain how to do it.
Jakob was even patient enough to watch a demonstration on how it's done.
After they short demonstration was done Jakob went right for the sprinkles...who wouldn't? Notice that this container of sprinkles he is about to grab has 6 different kinds of sprinkles in it. Jakob HAD to put every kind of sprinkle in sight on his cookies and not just like two or three, he POURED them on. He tried to explain to him that he only needed a few on it, but he would hear none of it.
Zakry was being so cute and not getting into any trouble playing in his new wagon. (I have to mention that we opened presents on the Sunday before Christmas because that's the only time we would all be together, so we are making these cookies on Christmas eve)
And then Zakry realized we were doing something at the counter and we wanted to be in on the action. He's so good at decorating don't you think? :)
This was a gingerbread man that Jakob made. Now believe it or not, but those M&M's are strategically placed on that cookie. Megan picked up the cookie to shake off the excess sprinkles and an M&M fell off and Jakob told her that she lost one of his buttons.
Zakry then figured out that these things we were decorating was food!
I'm pretty sure Santa Clause DEVOURED these cookies! :)
A few other highlights of this cookie making extravaganza were Mikah sitting on a cookie (the yellow one Zakry is eating) and getting is pants covered in yellow frosting. And the attempt at making brown colored frosting. Gingerbread men are brown and so Jakob had to have brown frosting. It took a while, but Megan finally succeeded at creating a color close enough to brown to satisfy Jakob.
