Our neighborhood got an invitation to bake traditional German Christmas cookies at a local bakery. Each year, this specific bakery closes early and lets in a select group of Americans. When Leevi is out of town we are always looking for something extra to do to pass the time and this seemed like a really neat experience for the girls to see the back of a bakery and all of the big equipment.

| Huge sheets of rolled out sugar cookie dough |
 |
| Sprinkles galore!!!! |
 |
| After at least 400 cookies were cut, the kids started to get creative with the extra dough |
Everything that was baked, we were able to take home (free of charge)
 |
| We were there from 4-6pm, so we had COOKIES for dinner that night!! They did come home and eat some apples, carrots and yogurt and then they were off to bed! |

| The group of kids who participated along with Chef Peter! Such fun!!!! |
I think we came home with 5 containers of cookies!!!! BUT, not a single kid washed their hands and quite a few were coughing and sniffling (mine included)! The germs bake off, right?! Hailey insisted on bringing a box the next day to her teachers at school so I sent Mrs. Winter a quick email saying just to toss them at the end of the day but lie and say how wonderful they were!!! :) We ate quite a few over the week and didn't get sick but I would have felt horrible if her teachers had!
