Sugar Cookies

Christmas is almost here and I had a sudden panic attack this morning when I realized that this will be the first year that I would not have my Grandma Leaks mouth watering sugar cookies. I have gone home every year for Christmas and have always had at least one (usually 20). I even made them to send to Zach last year while he was deployed. I didn't want him to miss out. Well, I hate to make sugar cookies. They take way to long and for some reason they never turn out right. I had to try this year. I have to brag a little, they were good. Not Grandma Leak good, but not bad for Rikki good. I also had to send a picture of the cookies because Courtney and Sonnie told me last year that I was the worst froster they had ever met. I thought these looked dang good!! Good enough to eat sisters!! We took a plate to Jacksons friend Gavin and his family. Then a couple of plates to our neighbors. We love Christmas time and love the opportunity to share. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I hope your mouths are watering for these Grandma Leak sugar cookies. They are the best. Frosting his cookie for Gavin (For those of you who saw our Christmas card, he has the same look on his face. Like why are you making me do this.)
Shades cookie got LOTS of frosting on his

Aynslee was such a good girl. She hung out in her bouncer the whole time


My wonderful frosting job
Not bad Courtney and Sonnie!!

Getting one of the plates ready


Here is our tree and stockings. We are quickly adding to our stocking collection

I've seen someone have better frosting capabilities....me....by far. There is no competition so you might as well GIVE UP!!! Just kidding Rik...they actually look great. Good Job. Now that you have accomplished that task, focus on the grand opening of 3 Sisters Bar/*^%$#* House.

Hi Rikki,
Those cookies look good! I too feel that I have to make sugar cookies every Christmas. They do take a long time! I hope you enjoy your Christmas!
Love,
Mary
