Making Cookies

I thought it would be fun to see how Eli would like to help make Christmas cookies; since Aunt Laura, Rachel, and Aaron were coming over this week, we decided it was perfect timing for a cousin-cookie-decorating kind of day.

Rachel stirring up the dough.

Rolling it out....

Cutting out our shapes with cookie cutters....

Assisting Mr. E. He really got into hitting the dough with the cookie cutter.

Spreading on icing. He actually slapped a little on before ditching the spatula and sticking his fingers in it. We did hand-over-hand at first so he would understand what to do.

Spreading the icing didn't last long - much more fun to eat the cookie!!

Our masterpieces in the making.
