cut-out cookies

Growing up my family had a certain tradition that fell between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Usually right after Thanksgiving actually if I remember correctly. We would make cut out sugar cookies for Christmas. I remember standing around my Grandmother's kitchen table rolling and cutting out the cookies (and sneaking bites of dough) and then my favorite part, decorating them! This is something I have always and enjoyed and continued to do with out friends in Brooklyn.
Last night the tradition continued in our kitchen here with us and my parents. (missed you Grandma but will save you some cookies)
Charles helped press the cookie cutters and even frosted a few. His favorite was the polar bear. Perhaps not the traditional Christmas cookie shape but hey, he liked it.
