When I was a kid, I remember decorating cookies every christmas. It didn't even start out as a tradition, but it slowly became one. Because my dad's birthday was christmas eve, we often decorated that evening so we'd have something to leave for Santa. Now, we have made it part of our Stepanoff family tradition. Instead of handing individual gifts to all my neighbors/friends, we invite them all over to make their cookies for Santa! So I baked cookies for 2 days. I must have baked about 100+ cookies in total! We had both gingerbread and sugar cookies out along with sprinkles, candies, and multiple colors of icing. all we needed were friends! We had a great time this year!

while we all decorated, the kids all took all of zach's toys out and put them on the couch. this is proof that my son is spoiled rotten. and santa hasn't even come yet!
