Kids Bake

Don't worry, he's actually wearing pants under that apron (I'm all about hygiene in the kitchen...)

It was our yearly kids only baking night.  The only thing I do is unwrap the log of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough and slide the cookie sheets in and out of the oven.  I save tricky Christmas cookies for another day.

The kids each roll out their dough (here Jack is getting a little help from me):

Next they choose their cookie cutters, cut out the dough, and put them on the sheet:

Now comes the best part!  Sprinkles galore!  Sprinkles everywhere!  Time to go crazy with the sprinkles and Mama will complain only a little bit!

Maddie is the one who gets very fancy.  It took her 35 minutes to decorate her cookies:

I am kicking myself that I didn’t think to get a picture of the finished products.  We ate some of them and took most to Jack’s school the next day to enjoy after these cherubs sang:

Jack, thankfully, is fully clothed for this picture (he’s in the top right).  
Merry Christmas and best wishes to you!
