A Seavey family tradition is making and frosting sugar cookies. For a couple years now we have been using icing bags with fun tips. It makes for a lot more decoration. Although, Azella, brought our sprinkle amounts down to about half of what we started with.
These cookies are only for us. Why? Because I don't think anyone would like eating them after seeing Azella and her pile of sprinkles. But we most certainly do! They were delicious!
We all hope you had a great year and have a Merry Christmas!
