Olivia "helped" me cut out and bake the Christmas cookies on Tuesday and she, Jenny and I decorated them today, Christmas Eve. She is kind of a neat freak and was really good about not making a big mess. For being 2 1/2 she was really good at getting the frosting on the cookies and then one big splot of sprinkles. Once in a while she would sneak a lick of the knife or just stick her finger right in the frosting for a taste.She had a great time doing the cooking, cutting them out and decorating them. It was so funny when every few minutes she would stop what she was doing and say "I wuv make tooties wif Mama!"
Even Misty (with the sweet tooth) wanted to get into the picture.
It was hilarious and she genuinely had a lot of fun. At night we read "The Night Before Christmas" and set three cookies that she picked out on a plate for Santa with milk and....of course... a napkin to wipe his mouth. As I put her to bed she was talking nonstop about the cookies, milk, napkin, reindeer, party at Aunt Nancy's, and so on.
I'm not sure who is having more fun with this, me or Olivia.
Watch for more pictures from Christmas Day.
We hope everyone has a very blessed, happy and safe Christmas 2008!!
Merry Christmas!!
