December 23

Today was cookie day.  Imagine rolling out, cutting and decorating cookies with a three little girls, four, three and one.  We were prepared--three children, three adults.  We made the cookies last night and baked half of them so we could keep up with the diverse attention spans.  The rolling went very well, both girls are very experienced with playdough. 

The dough is very tasty, I use almond and vanilla extract.

 

After deciding on the appropriate Christmas colors, pink and purple, the girls were very industrious.

 

The proud "artists"...

 

and the finished product--isn't Santa lucky!
