Cookies

^ The winners!!!!!^

And the losers-----

The girls in their aprons.

Making the cookies.

You just can't do it and not laugh.

The new generation of cookie decorators!!!!!

It is intense work.

It requires a lot of concentration.

And a steady hand.

But you have to be creative as well.

Like father like daughter.

Yummy yummy yummy, I got cookie in my tummy.

Mommy and son - sweet Christy and jayden.

The final product!!!!

It is tradition in the Sudan family that every year about this time we have the Sudan cookie decorating contest. It has become quite a fierce contest over the years and the decorating has become more elaborate. The addition of in-laws has added another dimension and now with a new generation of the Sudan clan coming along it is even more fun. This past Sunday (19th) we held it at the Ogdens in Dallas and Christy is so sweet to allow us to destroy her house while doing this - flour and sprinkes and icing everywhere. Mary Beth won for the second year in a row but Jason got most creative for an x-ray of a stocking and Luana placed honorable mention for the first time. Christy got second place and Amy third. Jayden even decorated his own and EK participated by eating anything she could get her hands on. Thanks to all for another great year.
