This Sunday, we had a cousin's cookie decorating party! My cousin, Carrie, invited us over to decorate sugar cookies with her kiddos, my cousin Lizzie and her kiddo, and my cousin Natalie.
Sarah helped me make the cookies on Saturday afternoon...
...and on Sunday, she practiced her decorating skills! She started with an ice cream cone Christmas tree, some sprinkles, a few M&Ms and a handful of marshmallows. Not bad for her first attempt, huh?
There may have been some sampling going on here, too...
Aren't these boys adorable?!?
And then there's my delicate little flower, telling me to take a picture of the blue sprinkles in her teeth...
Sarah didn't want to eat her tree (she was only interested in the decorations), but the boys dug right in!
Here is Sarah's completed masterpiece:
We attempted to decorate some cookies, but Gavin was the only one who stuck around to help!
Sarah and Aiden were off the the races! They zoomed around Carrie's house while the rest of us decorated the cookies.
Finally, after days and days of icing cookies (have I mentioned how much I hate decorating sugar cookies?!), we let the cousins open their Christmas presents.
Sarah got a super cute umbrella and matching rain boots from Aiden and Ella, and Gavin gave her a great set of wooden fruit that you can cut with a knife (the pieces of fruit Velcro together and can be pulled apart by the wooden knife that comes with them). She loves both of these presents and plays with them constantly! Good job, cousins!!!
