Christmas Card 2011 - part 1

I spent part of today in the kitchen, working on the annual Christmas card.  This year I wanted to try photographing cookies for the card, so I started the day off by baking & decorating sugar cookies.  I definitely have a new appreciation for food stylists!  I love to bake, but can be very messy in the kitchen.  Trying to make a few cookies photo worthy was definitely a challenge.  I ended up eating way too many cookies in the process!  Here are a few quick photos and I'll post the final card later this week once its finished.
