Captain Beard and the Frozen Snow

T and I decorated Christmas cookies this morning (a good inside activity considering the below-freezing temperatures outside right now. The snow on our lawn is frozen. The SNOW! As in, it has gone from nice and powdery to a lattice of solid ice). Actually, I only frosted the cookies in designs at T's behest and he put the sprinkles and whatnot on them. I like to see a kid throwing caution to the bitter winter wind and going random design nuts on a slew of sugar cookies:

Thomas made this one special and called it "Captain Beard". He told me it was specifically for Nate.
