Halloween Cookies!!

Last Saturday me, Em, Scout, Cat and Booker got together at Em's house to decorate Halloween cookies. Since we were totally abandoned by our family, and left to live in Utah by ourselves, we have to come up with our own holiday traditions, hee hee. We had a lot of fun and pretty much giggled the entire time, imagine that! Emily has the best sugar cookie and frosting recipe. Here are some pictures.

Scout was pretty excited to decorate the cookies. While we were making the different colors of frosting she kept saying she wanted to decorate the witch's broom. Then when we finally got down to decorating she totally forgot about the witch's broom.


Here is a view of the table with all the decorating supplies.


Here are two of the cookies Scout decorated. She had a lot of fun with the frosting. She didn't quite grasp the concept of holding the top of the decorating bag. I think I spent more time fixing the decorating bags than I did decorating. That black and white spider web one she decorated had about 6 inches of frosting on it. I did the pumpkin and Em did the spider web.



Here is a view of as many cookies as I could fit in the camera frame. I think I like the witch hats the best. And the kitties of course.

I had to include this picture because it has the Prudence cookie Cat decorated. We laughed so hard when she was decorating that one. It also has 2 of the witch brooms Scout talked about for over an hour then completely ignored once we started decorating.

This picture has 3 of the cookies Booker decorated. He did the tombstone, the pumpkin and the spider web. I love the face on the pumpkin. And he did a great job on the spider web.

Here are a couple of cookies I decorated especially for B. I know how much she likes purple, so I found the biggest cookie we had and covered it in purple frosting. And we thought she'd really like a tombstone with Neil's name on it.


This picture has a bunch of the cookies Em decorated. She obviously has the most artistic touch out of us all. Pay special attention to the Frankenstein head she did, you'll see why in a second. With her decorating skills and her great cookie and frosting recipes, she and B should seriously think about making and selling those Disney princess cookies B mentioned once.


And finally for the biggest laugh of the day! When we first started decorating, Cat picked a Frankenstein head and started decorating. We didn't pay much attention to what she was doing as we were all busy decorating our own cookies and fixing the frosting bags Scout was mangling. When all the cookies were decorated we were sitting there looking at all the cookies. Em noticed the Frankenstein Cat did and laughed a bit and mentioned how funny his face was. Then Em started laughing really hard, I mean really hard. Cat and I were laughing too, just because Em was laughing so hard. I didn't think the face on Cat's Frankenstein was that funny. We asked Em what was so funny. With tears pouring down her face Em says "you've got the b.b.b.b." then she laughed hysterically. Then she did it again "you've got the b.b.b.b." By now, Cat and I are laughing as hard as Em, but we still didn't know what we were laughing so hard at. Then Em did it a third time! "you've got the b.b.b.b" She was laughing so hard she couldn't even say what was so funny. Finally, Em gained enough composure to scream "it's upside down!" Cat and I looked at the Frankenstein head that Cat decorated and burst out laughing. I seriously thought I was going to choke I was laughing so hard! What Em was trying to tell us is "you've got the bolts upside down!" I think we laughed for about half an hour. Cat, you are priceless! Thank you for the best laugh I've had in a long time! Check out the picture below. Can you tell which one Cat did?
