Christmas Cookies
























































This Sunday the Sudans held the 20th annual Christmas cookie decorating contest. It is a fun time for all of us to get together, laugh, tell stupid stories, roll out the dough, make sugar cookies and then decorate them, and of course eat them. It evolved from an informal cookie baking ordeal into an intense competative contest. For the second year, we moved it to Dallas and was hosted by Christy and Jordan. She does a great job of getting everything ready and all pitch in. This year Jayden was able to get into the action. By the time the last of the 150 cookies were cooked and decorated, we were tired and stuffed full of batter and cookies. The winner was Mary Beth with a train under a Christmas tree. Jason was second with a gingerbread man with a candy cane. It is a fun tradition which we hope we can pass down to the next generation. You are welcome to join us next year.
