yes they're from scratch, thank you very much!

My Mom's FAMOUS HUGE Sugar Cookies!!!

Guess who loves your cookie recipe, Mom?

Ladies...introducing Zac Efron.  Just kidding, it's only my handsome baby brother, Aaron! He's a fan of cookies too, it's a good thing.  I've been bossing him around today and rewarded him with a cookie. 

He's SO like his Daddy, look at that tongue! Only in deep concentration does the tongue-waving start!

When I gave Carter his knife to frost his cookie with, he looked at me like I had two heads.  In his mind I'm sure he was thinking, "WHAT MOM? You want me to touch this messy, sugary goodness and use a knife to do it? But don't I usually get in trouble for this? And you're telling me it's okay now? I'm SO CONFUSED!"

But he got the hang of it.

Nice Ryanna! She was loving the frosting as much as Carter was.

Still loving the frosting...

"WE LOVE SUGAR COOKIES!"

Dawson loves his Uncle Aaron!

And we're still licking...and licking....

Sprinkles! All we need is MORE SUGAR!

Look at THAT determination!!

He could hardly grip the bottle of sprinkles, let alone actually lifting it over his cookie multiple times to shake out those darn things! I had to help him after he clogged the spout with frosting.

"Oh my goodness! This is absolutely DELICIOUS!" I think he's thinking that.  He finally gave up licking the knife and went for his fingers instead!!

Now onto the DETOX session of the night before they retire for bed.....
