About 5 years ago, I invited my staff over to my house to decorate Christmas cookies since we used to always do it as kids and I absolutely loved it. So I had my engagement team over and their kiddos and we started decorating cookies. Around 3 years ago, we moved it to CT's house so we would have more space and have been doing it there every year. We cook lunch, invite a bunch of girls from work, and all have a fabulous time together. Above, me and CT with our aprons before the real decorating began!
Here is SJ and one of my favorite partners, NB. Suzanne is one of our veterans and she usually loves to help me "mass produce" at the end of the party as we always have extra cookies we need to decorate.
Here is LL -- she was SO excited about her cookie that she made and made me take a picture of it. She is so stinking cute!
Here is me and WHH....we tried to so hard to get him to smile and he was just not having it! But he was so cute...he loved running around and playing with all the girls...and stealing a cookie off of the table and gnawing on it! He especially loved Miss LM as she flipped him upside down and blew kisses on his stomach...see below!
And here are a bunch of the cookies that we make. We always decorate so many and then no one wants to eat them or take them home (go figure). So we got an idea this last year from LH that we should take them to a firehouse for the firefighters. So, we do just that! And hopefully they love them as much as we love to make them!
After we finished with cookies RH and I went to Sound of Music. It was SO GREAT. We sat there....sang along at times and enjoyed it so much. We loved it even more that right before it started, we noticed that the secret service was there....and then in walked in George and Barbara Bush.
Everyone was going crazy...I'm pretty sure that they got at least 3 standing ovations just for coming! It was so AWESOME!!! It was such a fabulous time!
