Today was as my sister put it on facebook, "It's baking day. Christmas music, sisters, toddlers, and sugar!! What could be better?" Agreed!
After a fun filled morning, Landon decided to skip lunch and take a nap instead! 
And, just a small portion of the finished products. Doesn't it all just look amazing!! The kids had a blast decorating the cut out cookies, as did the adults. 
Ok, I am posting this frosting recipe for two reasons, one, just incase I lose it, I have it for next year, and two, because it is the BEST EVER!
Royal Icing
Ingredients
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 egg whites, beaten
Directions
In a bowl, sift together confectioners' sugar and cream of tartar. Using electric mixer, beat in 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and 2 beaten egg whites for about 5 minutes or until mixture is thick enough to hold its shape. As I mix the colors add just a small amount of water so the mixture is not too thick. Yum-O!!
