Christmas Recap, Part II

We stayed busy on Christmas Eve. Mom and I started early making Christmas cookies. Here I am in my new apron (Thanks, Mrs. Janine) taking a break from all of the mixing and sifting.
Then it was time for rolling. Mom thinks I have pretty good technique. It was a little hard since mom didn't let the dough chill long enough. We'll cut her some slack, though. She's no Vati when it comes to baking.
We managed to cut out a few cookies but then just improvised when the dough got too sticky to keep cutting. Pop and I decorated them.
Here's our tree on Christmas Eve!

I got to open one present on Christmas Eve, just because Vati and Mama knew I would be a little overwhelmed by tomorrow's load. This present is from Pop.
A puzzle! Someone must have told Pop that my newest (read: only) favorite thing to do these days are puzzles!
