We had another Kermes in December while we were working as tíos, and
as per usual, it was a great time. The theme was obviously Christmas. We kicked things off with baking sugar
cookies! Every section was handed a big old lump of dough and got to have at it
with rolling pins and cookie cutters. My boys made me laugh with the intricate
doughy details they added on top of the cookies they had cut from the main
dough. Quite the creative artists, let me tell you!

While the cookies were baking, we moved everyone to a different part
of the room to make Christmas decorations. Construction paper was flying left
and right, markers were doodling holiday cheer before my eyes. It was fun
teaching the kids how to cut out snowflakes too!

Before we knew it, the cookies were done baking and cool enough to
frost. We let the kids throw on a powdered sugar glaze concoction on top,
popped in Elf in Spanish, and called it good. It was a quieter Kermes,
but the kids seemed to like everything, which is all that matters. Even though
the cookies weren’t quite like my mom’s sugar cookies, I liked this Kermes too!
