Christmas Cookie Party

This weekend was our annual neighborhood cookie-making party!  We had such a good time at our friend Linda's house, and Clara and Elena had more fun than ever.  Though they've been going every year since they were babies, there were many years where they just watched and ate dough. 

 This year they helped mix colors into the dough (and had dye on their hands for days).

 They made all kinds of creations - they were very serious about their task!

 Some beautiful creations:

 And a fuzzy picture taken by Linda, but much appreciated.  At one point the girls and Christina headed out of the kitchen to cuddle up and read Polar Express - they are at a very snuggly stage where they want to be close all the time, and it's awesome!
