Sugar cookies.
From scratch.
Avalon wanted to be involved in every step.
Loudoun not so much.
He added the egg.
She added the flour, sugar, vanilla, everything else.
She turned on the mixer.
She LOVED putting flour on the cutting board.
She rolled out the dough.
And she stamped out almost every single cookie
using holiday appropriate cookie cutters.
I might have done 1 or 2.
Avalon and I iced and sprinkled.
Loudoun decorated 1 cookie, because I made him.
And then he went back to playing Angry Birds.
After eating 2 cookies each,
we decided we did NOT need dozens of cookies in our house
(I decided)
so we took samples to our neighbors.
They loved the 3 year old decorating job.
I loved the family time.
We might buy the ready-made dough to make cookies for Santa in a few weeks. Or, maybe we'll do this all over again.
Cute!!! :) I love your mixer, not to mention all three of your adorable faces. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. Love the mixer and it must make cookie making with little ones much easier. Can you imagine a hand mixer. Buah ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteSweet memories! We had a good family night the other night. Followed by an intense 3 day depression. I was walking with my sponsor and she told me I was doing a good job, making good memories for my babes, rather than just passing out on the couch.
ReplyDeleteYep, woulda been me.....

There IS hope~
Oh I love it- I am the same way! :)
