In my mind growing-up...sugar cookies were the ultimate family-bonding activity. There's just something so "picture perfect" for me about those times spent with my mom. I'm realizing now that my mother was a saint and that all these glossed-over memories were because I was not the mother, but the child! Nothing can make me pull out my hair like doing sugar cookies with my own kids. (Although almost always I enter each endeavor still filled with hopes of memory-making bliss.)
This time by the time we came to decorating our little pumpkins, Greg stepped in to help make it happen. Of course, this meant "developing a model" with precisely 5 chocolate chips for each mouth and 2 candy corns for each eye, allocating the proper amount with each cookie, and then quality controlling them once created. We sure know how to have a good time. =) (We were, after all, going to give some of these away.)
I thought it quite fitting that this is the best picture I could find of the experience. May it remind me next time I get the hankering for a "magical family moment" that doubling a batch of sugar cookie dough might NOT be the answer. =)
