Christmas Baking

The kids helped me make a lot of cookies this year! Both of them like to measure out the ingredients and put them in the mixing bowl. They also took turns using the hand mixer with some of the doughs. Teamwork! Sugar cookies, shortbread, peanut butter blossoms, yellow cake cookies and red velvet cake balls... yum!

Rolling out the sugar dough

Shane helped with the frosting! Parker is just waiting for his cookie...

Someone, who can now reach things on the kitchen counter, snuck just one bite of this cookie and put it back!

We also decorated our annual gingerbread house. Isabelle likes to decorate it, but not eat it. Seth likes to decorate it AND eat it.

The finished product

2 days until Christmas!!
