After the Christmas Eve service, Robert & I headed over to Mom & Dad's for Christmas Even Beef Stew. (so delicious) As a Walpole tradition, taking a picture next to the tree and "putting an ornament on the tree" is a must.
During the day on Christmas Eve, I had made some pumpkin bread in snowflake bundt pans and began decorating sugar cookies. I didn't end up finishing up some decorating or putting together the baskets of goodies we were giving to several family members the following day. After dinner, both Robert and I rolled up our sleeves and got to completing my projects. Robert was such a huge help and while he probably wouldn't admit it, I think he enjoyed being creative with the cookie decorating; he was quite good at it, too! Robert in his creative peak made me an avant guarde cookie (picture below). :) With all of the cookie decorating and creative juices flowing, I got the idea of using decorated sugar cookies as gift tags-- I think this may become a tradition of mine. :)
