Christmas cookies

-

Woke up this morning to several inches of snow outside and a layer of ice on top of that. Jared plowed the driveway and I took Jacob out to play in the snow. I kicked the layer of ice of the top of the snow and was able to build a small snowman. Jacob helped me find sticks for his arms and rocks for his face. He really liked watching Daddy plow the snow. We did some Christmas shopping today and got a some ingrediants for making Christmas cookies. Jacob had fun putting the ingrediants in the bowl and watching it mix. He really liked tasting the sugar and playing with the flour. He looked at me and said, "I like plour Mama". He helped roll some dough and cut out a few cookies but mostly played with the cookie cutters and kept asking for more flour. Adam sat in his high chair and ate cheerios. He has figured out how to pick them up and put them in his mouth. He also loves crackers. When it came to decorating Jacob preferred to eat them. He did have fun decorating too. It was funny to watch him pour a big pile of sugar on his cookie - then we'd help him shake it off. He liked decorating with the red hots. We noticed some frosting on Jacob's face and he then showed us how he had taken bites out of several of the cookies. As he was showing us his bites he picked up a snowman and took a bite - then set it down. It was funny. In the picture of Jared with the boys Adam had just grabbed a cookie and threw it on the floor - Kate got it.
