Christmas cookies

A couple days ago, I needed to make some Christmas cookies to donate for the Admissions Christmas fair and as a prop for the Christmas program. The Christmas fair is held right before the Christmas program, and there are lots of booths with homemade items to buy, as well as hot cider and cookies made by the staff/faculty. So, I made sugar cookie dough and invited some of my residents over to help me decorate cookies. It was good to have them there, because we all inspired each other to be very creative in decorating!

helpers - my RA, Nasta, Ania and Lera

more helpers - Sasha and Shafa

some very detailed cookies!!!

Here are all the cookies we made for the fair and program. Note the Lithuanian flag colors on the star in the top left corner - one of my favorites.

There were LOTS more cookies, so we ate some and the girls took the rest back to their floor to give to other students.

Two students (Evaldas and Andrej) enjoying the cookies that the girls brought to them. Apparently they really liked them!

The decoration is something the whole floor made together, and of course it's quite ironic for this picture in particular...
