Every year Katie's family gets together during Christmastime to make cookies.
There's about a dozen members of the family who get together every year. They each bring some cookie dough and frosting and spend a few hours just shooting the breeze and making cookies.
I'm not sure how many cookies they make at one of these get-togethers, but I'd venture they make about 160 pounds of cookie.

| See what I mean? |
It's a fun little tradition which usually involves everyone standing around and chatting while three people actually MAKE the cookies.
 |
| I demand cookies. Now. |
It also lets us hang out with some family members that we don't see every day. Like this little one.
 |
| "Hmmm... I think I need more fuzzy balls on my sweater." |
Once the cookies are baked then everyone starts to decorate them.
 |
| Megan is a firm believer in the "superglue" theory of cookie decoration. |
It's a tradition that mostly involves the women-folk and --- as usual --- I was the only gentleman to partake.
Multi-colored frosting is a must, and everyone has their own thoughts on what makes a quality cookie.
 |
| I first considered the "Jackson Pollock" approach to decorating... |
 |
| But in the end settled for Winnie the Cookie, although some at the party said it was actually an L.A. Lakers bear |
|
| *GEOFF'S NOTE: THIS IS WRONG. |
 |
| Others opted to make UO Duck Santa Ghost...thing. |
Needless to say, I have about 80 pounds of cookie sitting on my counter if anyone wants to come over and savor some frosting and sugar cookie.
Come on, don't they look delicious?
