| Decorating the cookies |
For the past several years, we have been having the four oldest grandkids come for an overnighter between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the past they have helped pick out and cut down a Christmas tree but lately we have switched over to an artificial tree. We start with pizza and a movie sometimes with a night hike before dinner depending on the weather. Then the next day it is decorating the tree, decorating gingerbread houses and cookies. If you want a sugar rush, just have one of the cookies they have decorated :-). For this year I decided to make them aprons to wear. I also got them for the two younger ones that live in Iowa.

| Ready for stitching |
I bought the aprons online and used a design from Designs by JuJu on the aprons. I thought about doing different designs from the pack but didn't want to hear, "I wanted that one". I hooped sticky stabilizer and then laid the apron down. Because the aprons had a plastic backing, I also added some pins so the top layer wouldn't move around.

This was a fun design that didn't take too long, only two appliqué pieces to cut. The two oldest grandkids are really almost too big for the aprons but they had fun wearing them anyway.
