Starting Traditions With My Kids

This year I decided to make homemade shortbread cookies for Christmas! Last year I had bought some from the store and the ingredients were really simple, which I liked, but they weren’t organic. To me, getting organic grains is really important! So this year I wanted to make them at home to control the ingredients!

My son had the idea to get cookie cutters! We looked at the thrift store first but we couldn’t find any! Then when we were at target one day we saw these ones and they were on sale for 70 cents!!

We also had the idea that it would be a nice gift to our family when they come over on Christmas Eve!

We got everything we needed and the whole family was involved in making them and rolling out the dough and cutting them out and putting them on the pan!

It was so fun to do together and I’m excited to give a homemade gift to family. This will become our new family Christmas tradition and I already can’t wait to do it again next year!
