Last year my parents started a new tradition with my kids with making Christmas cookies. This year they came to our house to do it because our schedules were so busy and we weren't able to make it to their place for it. Grant also woke up feeling very sick so we felt bad for him. He didn't participate much which was okay because we weren't sure if he was sick with the flu or sick from teething. The other kids though had a lot of fun making cookies with Oma and Opa. The funny thing is that they actually forgot their cookie cutters at home on their kitchen counter while they were making their way out of their house so luckily we had our own cookie cutters here. Only thing is that they weren't Christmas shapes, they were Halloween. So the kids made Halloween cookies and used their imagination to make them Christmas cookies. For example the ghost shape turned into a Christmas bell and the bat was a Christmas ornament. The shapes didn't make a difference really and Addie and Hudson both really enjoyed themselves.
After the cookies were all done we also exchanged our Christmas gifts. Christmas day can be kind of crazy if we fit in too much traveling so this really worked for us and it works for my parents as well. Plus the kids will never complain about getting presents a little early.
