Madison had a friend over to play last week and while Brendan was napping I figured we would go for it and bake some sugar cookies for xmas. Both girls were excited about the idea and ready to go. I rolled out the dough for the girls and then let them have at it. They cut them out I slid them onto the trays and then let them decorate them. At first Madison was real heavy with sprinkles and her friend used them much more sparingly. By the end it had totally switched and her friend was dumping on the sprinkles. Well lets be honest from the look of these cookies both girls used every last sprinkle in the house. B woke up from his nap before we were finished and jumped right in to do some cookies to. He was actually the most sparing with the sprinkles but he really had no choice as the girls used almost all of them.
The thing that struck me the most about this adventure in baking was how smooth it all went. I mean honestly all of the kids were patient and listened to the directions that I gave them. It is good to know that they are at an age where they can listen when they want to and need to. I just need to figure out how to get them to listen when I want them to.
Happy Holidays.
