Cookie Time

The kids wanted to make cookies for Santa. Well, technically *I* wanted them to make cookies for Santa. Ava wanted to make cookies for Ava, and Ethan just wanted to smash and grab the dough. It was a new and strange feeling to have the kids baking with me. Normally I prefer to do my baking solo, but I rather enjoyed the company. We might have to do this more often.

The kids even got to pick out which cookies they wanted to leave out for Santa right before they went to bed Christmas Eve. Ava is counting them. Did I mention she can count up to ten flawlessly and sometimes even up to twenty? We count EVERYTHING these days. Also, that sort of wonky shaped cookie in the back with the green sprinkles is the one Ethan made. The rest on Santa Claus' plate were made by Ava.
