Christmas Cookies '08

Those of you who are followers of our blog know that we look forward to decorating Christmas cookies with Rob and Sarah every year. Alas! This year, since we left New York, we had to decorate on our own. Since we've made a few new friends here, we decided to invite them over to join us. It was a bittersweet evening, but all the sugar and eggnog made it easier. As in years past, everyone dug deep into the imagination, and no one felt obligated to stick to any Christmas cookie dogma. Here's the best of 2008:

Paper doll with dresses, octopus, alligator head, fish


Potted flowers, Canadian flag


Guy with nunchucks, Miss Piggie sings, Bubs, pig's head


Guy with guitar


Angry kid in foot jammies kills Barney with machine gun


Capuchin angel


Santa gets stuck
