This weekend we decorated Christmas cookies again. Every year I learn a lot about how to make the perfect icing consistency (filler vs outline consistency) and how many batches to make and which colors work best, etc. Then I forget it all by the time the following year rolls around and I start from scratch. So frustrating. Thus, things got off to a bit of a shaky start and we made WAY too much icing, but once we got into the swing of things, it was a lot of fun. We even gave Peter some dough and let him make and decorate some cookies. At first he was pretty upset that he couldn't just eat the dough. The whole process seemed far too time-consuming to him. However, we got him a fish shaped cookie cutter and he seemed to think that was pretty fun and he was finally willing to go along with it. In the end, he managed to swipe a little frosting off some decorated cookies and had a few bites of fish cookie when it was all done. He declared it, "So yummy!"
