Christmas cookies

On Sunday, the boys helped me bake Christmas cookies. We had some new cookie cutters this year, and they were pretty excited about choosing the cutters and then stamping out the cookies. In particular, they wanted to make some red mitten-shaped cookies because we've been reading the book The Mitten a lot lately - another one of their favorites.

They were such good little helpers!

Peek-a-boo!

After dinner, when the cookies had been decorated, the boys got to do a taste test! Brady wanted to try a gingerbread boy and Ian wanted a mitten.


We had some happy boys!
That night in the bathtub, Ian sat up on his knees and put a washcloth over the side of the tub. With a ring-shaped toy in his hand, he pretended to cut out cookies on the washcloth. He said, "I am baking cookies. This is my cookie cutter. I am making circles."
