For the last 6 or 7 years, I have invited my nephew and our friends' little girls over in early December to decorate cookies. I bake the cutout cookies in advance, mix some basic icing colors, then leave a few bowls of icing for them to "custom blend" colors. I order all kinds of sprinkles, dragees and sugars from a specialty baking website, cover the kitchen island w/ paper, put DH's old shirts on them and they go wild. Santa in a tie dyed shirt, Rudolph w/ foot and mouth disease, Angels w/ light sabres, leopard spotted ornaments...you name it, they come up with it.
It has been fun to see how they've become more imaginative as they've gotten older. I can't wait until H is old enough to participate w/ them.
