Yesterday, we had fun decorating the tree- Raice and Cierra helped out start to finish. I feel like its all for them anyway, so that is why the decorations are very simple and kid friendly.
Today, for our family home evening we made sugar cookies. It turned out to be an all day event. Cierra enjoyed making the cookie dough with me- probably a more accurate statement would be eating the dough while I wasn't looking. I once turned around to see grab a big chunk and then make a break for it. After letting the dough chill the kids cut out their cookies.
After baking they frosted them...
Autumn kept herself entertained by eating cheerios. The other day I let her suck on a Ritz cracker and before I could pull it away she bit off nearly half of it. I tried to fish it out of her mouth with my finger, but if you know her personality she was determined to swallow it, as much as I was determined to get it out. I could see I was loosing as her little tongue had thrust it towards the very back of her throat, in my last desperate attempt I tipped her upside down and forward... Nope it was gone. Great, here goes the Heimlich wait, wait she is still breathing... whew! So I figured if she could swallow half of a Ritz cracker in one gulp, with out choking, then she could handle a few cheerios!
The final product...
The big ginger bread man was for "daddy." Raice and Cierra were so proud and excited to give it to him. Poor Tyler hates frosting and doesn't really like sugar cookies, but he ate it with a smile.
Here is a little clip of dinner time. Enjoy!
