A little of this and a bang of that...


We thought it would be fun to make Christmas cookies for our neighbors, so we set out to make gingerbread men! After dividing the dough into four parts, they got to it! There was much flour flying and rolling pins banging.....banging?....it had to be explained that rolling pins roll....not bang. Titus (1) just wanted to be in on all the action, so we gave him a little flour to play with. When it was icing time, you had to keep a keen eye on those M&M's! Mom came in the kitchen to see all the mess and left laughing as she said her grandchildren will be the most artsy children, but her daughters will probably have a messy house. Of course, we laughed and said she was wrong....we would just do all the baking at the sister's house that was clean. =) The kitchen was a mess, but the boys had such fun. After seeing all the finger licking and wiping on the shirts, we decided we wouldn't burden our nice neighbors with such sweet contamination, so Olivia kindly made fresh, "clean" cookies for them the next day.

Enjoy the pictures above...
