Yes, I realize it is June, and that there are sprinklers whirling around the yard and bees lazily strumming the flowers, but it is time to play catch up and take you back once more to December. Notice the chap stick in the foreground? Yep. I don't travel far without it. :)
After dinner one evening Peyton requested to make a batch of cookies, so I told him to pull up a chair and I plugged the Kitchen Aid mixer into the island, got all of the ingredients to make sugar cookies out and arranged on the counter, and then had us both don aprons for the task ahead.
I measured everything out, and talked to Peyton about measurements; which cups or spoons we'd need to measure each ingredient, and when to add it to the bowl.
Once it was all mixed up, he and Daddy rolled out the dough and cut out stars and trees and placed them on a cookie sheet to bake in the oven. I had two little faces pressed against the oven, watching the dough rise and bake.
Peyton was mighty proud of his effort and enjoyed the first of many cookies that holiday season. Here he is giving us his best "cheese" smile. :)
Chloe was pretty mellow, but it didn't take her long to dig into her cookie and request another shortly thereafter. One of these days, these two munchkins will be making cookies unassisted by me!
