Puzzle


This is Jenna's new favorite puzzle! She can work it in just a few minutes! And, as you can tell, big sis wanted in on some of the action!!

Avah the cookie decorator....



Royal Icing

For Valentines Day, Avah and I wanted to attempt royal icing and make these heart cookies. It was my first time using royal icing (other than as glue for gingerbread houses!) and I think that it turned out pretty well. They aren't perfect, but were well liked by Avah's preschool class!! They also tasted very yummy thanks to a delicious sugar cookie recipe I found when I made our Christmas cookies!!


After the piping....not too bad considering I had 2 kids that kept shaking the table!

Ready to fill them in....

Avah wanted to make some for daddy that didn't have much icing!

Some of the finished products!

Snow Fun!





Sous Chefs

The girls love to help me cook! Avah has reached the age where she is really helpful and Jenna likes to be a part of it as well. It is hard for me to let them help all the time, but I am glad that they enjoy cooking with me! Here they are making the salads for dinner last night!

Rudolph

Just ignore Avah in the background yelling "girls" to her princesses and polly pockets....apparently they weren't doing as they were told!
