Cookie Ornaments

I guess about 5 years ago, my aunt told me about a special tradition that her and her daughter do every Christmas, they make cookie dough ornaments, paint them and hang them on a tree. I loved the idea and set out to start that tradition with my family. Our first cookie ornament tree was in 2007 but the past three years we haven't done one.....I guess we were in transition for about that long and our tree was in storage. Anywho, we got our tree out, dusted off the "cobwebs" (not really) and continued the tradition. This was Lili's first time to do the ornaments. She had so much fun and did such a great job! Emma really enjoyed taking her time paying attention to detail. She painted some great ornaments!


Just out of the oven and ready to paint!





Emma's peace ornament that she worked very hard on.

Our finished tree! I've saved all of the ornaments from previous years so I hung them too!
