By far, my favorite christmas tradition is making cookies. Last year I went crazy and made double batches of 8 different kinds (I was making tins for people at Wade's work) and I swore that I would never do it again, so I scaled back this year and decided to do it in two parts. Today's segment was just for Keira. We made sugar cookie cutouts. And Keira had a blast and was actually a really good helper this year. We started out doing it together, me guiding her hands. And I was saying, press the cutter down, shake shake shake (to get it loose from the dough), pick it up, and then tap, tap, tap (to get it out of the cutter). Then I turned my back to get another cookie tray out and she was doing it all by herself and saying the words over and over just as I had. She is such a quick little learner. So she made the rest of the cookies all by herself.
She really loved rolling the dough.
And of course, she loved eating the cookies!
