Gingerbread Cookies

 Kiyah making sure her cookie cutter is in the PERFECT spot.

 Hope's classic smile...just love it.

 The girls felt the need to make sure mommy was photographed also.

 The cookies after baking but before the decorations.

After the decorating was completed.

We've never made gingerbread cookies before and I'd wanted to start a new holiday tradition with the girls. I found a super simple homemade gingerbread cookie recipe, we made it and were all set to make gingerbread people.  One slight problem...no gingerbread people cookie cutters.  That's ok the girls said.  We had a blast doing this cooking project.  They had more fun decorating than cutting them out though.
