As far back as I can remember there has never been a Christmas Eve where I haven't made my Grandma's cut out cookies. There is something about family traditions that just tug at my heart. The fond memories of making these every year always floods my mind and helps me remember what is really important; family. Adison and "Abe" had a blast making and frosting the cookies. We did most of the work when Abe was asleep, but we saved him a cookie and some icing so he wouldn't miss out on the action.
