Every year we make cookies for our neighbors. Today was the first official day of Christmas Break and what better way to spend it than baking cookies and getting ready for the holidays! This year was a little sad because we are missing our old neighbors. It's also exciting because we get to make cookies for our new neighbors for the first time.
The kids were a bigger help this year than ever before. We made six different kinds of cookies; texas cowchips, macaroons, peanut butter marshmallow goo, ultimate chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chunk and chocoholic cookies. All three helped make the first three kinds. After that they went upstairs to play "camp" and the last three they came down one at a time to help. They loved helping...and tasting! There was a lot of batter-tasting and finger-licking going on in the kitchen today!!
Even Moose jumped up and grabbed a cookie from the counter! Bad Dog! I wish I could have grabbed my camera fast enough. It was actually kind of cute.
All the kids love using the mixer...here it was Kaylee's turn.
Check out my James whisking those eggs!
Jagger is only smiling because every time I turned around he was stealing a chocolate chip from the batter...stinker!
Obviously we don't dress up for this occasion...but look how proud they are of themselves. Such good little elves I have!
Check out all of the cookies...doesn't it make you want to move next door??
