Emilee showing off her artistic culinary talents.
Tank had to have a bandaid over his stitches until they came out.  I don't think he liked to see them.  Here he is about to take a bite of his cookie.

Samantha had to have a star, but she decided fingerpainting the cookie was alot easier than trying to spread the frosting on with a knife.  Another tradition I really like but I have noticed that many of my friends do it too is giving a new ornament to my kids every year.  The idea is that when they leave they will have ornaments to put on their own tree.  Some years we let them pick them out and other years we have a theme.  For example we bought flag ornaments during 2001 to remember 9/11.
