Cookie Time!!

We decided to make gingerbread men today... One of Brynn's favorite parts - licking the beaters!!

While Brooklyn was busy eating in the background (just one of her favorite things to do) Brynn got busy getting our surface ready to roll the dough. I had to keep my eye on her because at one point when I was getting things together for Brooke, I caught Brynn pushing all of the flour onto the floor...

Time to roll!

Cutting the shapes!

Putting them on the tray. At some point during the transfer from the counter to the tray, the gingerbread men turned into globs of dough. Oh well, I guess it's not the "look" of your cookie, it's the taste that matters!

Brooklyn was just a happy camper during all of this as long as I kept food on her tray. I was afraid to let her join in on the cookie fun this year - next year I'll get her a big apron and let her at it!

Here's a better looking tray of cookies.

Are they done yet?!

FLASHBACK!!! Look at her just one year ago. SO crazy how  fast they change!

They came out really cute!

and tasted even better!

While we were busy making and eating cookies, Brooklyn was making her own fun and UNdecorating our tree!!! Only Brooklyn...
