The Great Cookie Decorating Contest

Every year, we have a Christmas Cookie Decorating Contest. This is a McKenny tradition that is much loved. Everyone gets to design and decorate a cookie (or cookies) however they wish. Christmas-themed cookies are not mandatory. There are two rules only: 1. My Dad, Ed, is the judge and 2. The judge CAN be bribed. In the end, everyone gets some sort of award (I am consistently the winner of the "suck-up" award, for instance). The contest is always a lot of fun, very messy, and very funny. People have gotten pretty creative over the years with their creations - even going 3D with their designs. Here are some pics from this year's event. Nick won best overall for his excellent artistic and 3-dimensional creation. Kate won the most spirited. It was such a great time!
