So this holiday season had been a bit of a struggle for me. But no longer! My kids want Christmas and they are going to get it! :-) You saw in previous pictures how we decorated for Christmas and how wonderful it was! Then came the cookies. We set everyone up at the table. Everyone got their own bowl and measuring spoons/cups. They were so excited to be helping! Every time they would take turns dumping the right ingredients in, then I would take a smaller amount and put it in their bowls. They were so excited and we had so much fun and made such a mess. We listened to Christmas music and danced like crazy while we stirred. We had such a great time! The Christmas Spirit is flowing wildly throughout my home. Merry Christmas!
