Cookie Decorating the Icelandic Way

Cookie baking and decorating is a common tradition during the Christmas period both in US and in Iceland. Our friend, Gyda, who is also the Social Chair at the Westgate organized a cookie baking and decorating activity for kids at Westgate this morning. They prepared the dough and the kids got to cut out their cookies. While the cookies bake in the oven, the kids did some coloring and running around the lounge as usual.

Here's Gyda baking the cookies that the kids had cut out while Hordur prepared the icing to decorate the cookies after they came out of the oven.

Here's Justin getting bored and playing with the camera, supposedly doing a self-portrait.

The girls watched as the icing was being prepared.

Finally, the wait was over. The cookies went straight into their mouths after they were done decorating.

Thanks, Gyda and Hordur for a fun morning :)
