Busy Baking!

Well we decided to bake some Christmas cookies last night. At 7 pm. It was fun. Gracie had been eyeing the sugar cookie mix for a few days and so we finally made them.

We had 3 Christmas cookie cutters. When it comes to my kids, it's best to have 3 of everything to avoid whining. After everyone made their cookies, Gracie made Santa, Presley made presents, and Evie made stars, it was time to frost them. We made red and green frosting. Most everyone did a good job. Except for this girl here. Here idea of frosting a cookie was this:

1. Dip the knife in the frosting.

2. Frost the cookie once.

3. Lick the rest of the frosting off the knife.

4. Dip the knife in the frosting again. Great parenting right there. I'm not sure which was worse: letting her lick that much frosting that late at night or letting her lick a knife. Oh well, we survived and eventually around 9:30, everyone went to sleep. Finally.

And if you are wondering where Frankenstein has been......

The other day she was sitting in the freezer with some Christmas ice cream treats. I guess it reminded her of being at the North Pole. And this morning we awoke to find her having a tea party with Hulk. Hopefully she doesn't decide to start dating him. Long-distance relationships are hardwork!
