Sugar Cookies

I have been a little behind with the blogging and decided I should probably catch up a little bit.  Since Big M was sick with the flu this year at Christmas, we were unable to bake and decorate our annual Christmas cookies.  The  winter and Valentine's Day themed cookies were still cute and very tasty.  

 

Snickerdoodles and Creativity

M&M have been asking to eat some snickerdoodle cookies, so I decided that it might be fun for them to help make them.  While these aren't my all time favorite cookie, the cookies tasted wonderful and were fun for the girls to make.  They loved rolling the dough into balls and then covering the dough with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.  And, it was fun for them to measure out ingredients and fight for control of the mixer.

Making snickerdoodles wasn't the only activity of the day.  M&M also wanted to spend some time being creative.  Little M painted a princess canvas she has had for a while.  Big M had fun coloring a portrait holder for her room. It was a busy, fun-filled summer day.  So glad we were able to spend time baking and crafting!

Santa, Christmas Cookies, Rhema Christmas Lights

M&M were both excited to visit Santa this year!  Big M asked for a globe for Christmas and Little M asked Santa to bring her a Sophia the First Desk.

Our Christmas season just wouldn't be complete without baking and decorating sugar cookies. M&M enjoy cutting out the cookies then covering the baked cookies with icing.  Of course, the cookies just wouldn't be complete without SPRINKLES!

 

 

 We also enjoyed a "warmer" winter evening with a walk through the Rhema Christmas lights...I think it is becoming a tradition. And, to M&M it just isn't the same if we don't stop and get some Starbucks hot chocolate to drink as we walk through the lights.
