My sister and her daughter, Ellie, had the same idea as we did last weekend. We both planned on making the Christmas cookies our Dad always loved to make. So we decided why not make it a family affair and baked and decorated while doing FaceTime! It was a tradition with my Dad to put flour on your nose when you baked, so we find comfort in keeping this tradition alive. He also loved to add some mint extract into the dough to add a slight taste of mint so of course we did that too!
We all had fun spending the afternoon "together". Why let the miles get in the way?!
Claire and I were the first to get a pan into the oven!!! Had to add a little competition to the baking session!
Claire and Ellie had so much fun decorating cookies while visiting on the phone.
Showing each other our decorated cookies! What a fun afternoon and I am pretty sure this will become a yearly tradition!
Claire and I are not quite as detail-oriented as Ellie but they still taste amazing!
