Lebkuchen

As it turns outs, we had so much fun over Christmas that I didn’t take the time to sit down and blog anything. So, the next few days will be about catching up on Christmas.

Ever since I was a little girl, making Lebkuchen ( a german cookie) is something I remember doing every Christmas. That is a tradition that I plan to continue with my boys. This year, they were finally at the age where the actually enjoyed the process. I mean, really, who wouldn’t love making a complete mess of the kitchen!!

Isaac did a great job rolling and cutting his own cookies.

Once they are cut and baked, it’s time for the fun part….decorating. It started out well. The meticulously decorated the first few cookies.

But then, all craziness broke loose!! Sprinkles everywhere!! As soon as Lucas started licking the sprinkles, his cookie decorating was over. No one wants to eat that mess.
