Well yesterday I made the cookies for Speedy's teacher. It took me HOURS to make those cookies. I think they came out OK for being a first timer. Here they are in all their glory.
The hardest part was making the icing all different colors. Oh and not having enough tips to go on icing bags, which made me have to ice all of one color then switch off the tip to another bag. That's why some of these look all jacked up.
My favorite has to be the snowman. I think he is super cute.
Oh and the dragonfly too. I made that one for my best friend since she is a dragonfly freak. I also gave her the cookie cutter since I'm a great friend and all.
And of COURSE I had to make Speedy a monster truck cookie. He thought it looked good but really wanted me to write the trucks name on it. I told him Momma ain't that good with an icing bag. And when he ate it, his whole mouth and all his teeth turned black. Yum!
I hope the teacher likes them. I should have added more almond extract to the icing because it tasted too sugary. So to make up for that, I made a batch of pralines to go with the cookies. At least half of the gift tastes super awesome.
I also put up my Christmas tree this weekend. I really didn't feel like putting a shitload of ornaments on it so I just put all Speedy's baby ornaments and some that he made up on the tree.
I'm not naming any names, but someone in the picture below ate an ornament not 10 minutes after I decorated the tree.
Now all the "edible" cinnamon, glue and applesauce ornaments are at the top of the tree. Yea my tree looks great right now. NOT!
And Speedy isn't helping either since he moves the ornaments around every day. I have a fourth of a tree decorated, but by tomorrow it may be decorated on a totally different side.
Merry Christmas!
P.S. Cinnamon, applesauce and glue do not kill dogs. Just in case you wanted to know.

Wow! You have a John Deere Christmas tree skirt! Effin' awesome!
I asked TheRugbyboy if we could put up the tree this year, but he said no. He said everything in the shed [where the tree is stored] is full of spiders. I didn't want to argue with him on that.
Besides, all the ornaments are up in the attic, and the light bulb has burned out up there! [I hope I can get my husband to fix that for me before he moves out!]
well of course she ate an ornament. I spent all nite tonite chasing one of my friends 14 French Bulldogs when she stole bone ornaments off the tree and tried to hide them from me
It was so funny to see her try to sneak up on them
Dude, those Christmas cookies are rockin'! Nice work.
