More Cookies...

Friday night, during the snow storm, we had a play date of sorts, decorating sugar cookies! I invited a couple of neighbors over to decorate sugar cookies because I thought the kids (2 little girls and 1 little boy plus Audrey) would enjoy it. I originally had envisioned baking the cookies with the kids and then having them frost and decorate, but I quickly came to the realization that decorating would be more in line with their attention spans (especially Audrey's as she was the youngest).

They had a blast (as did the mom's). They all were very different in how they approached the decorating. Audrey just wanted to eat her cookie, shocker right? Izzy and Brighid were pretty meticulous with their frosting and decorating and waited til they were done to eat the cookies. Finn, the only boy, went full force and kept the girls in line. There were some awesome looking, and tasting cookies that came out of it!

Charlie and I and Audrey of course enjoyed the fruits of their labor all weekend, like we need more sweets right now... It was a lot of fun and great way to spend a snowy Friday evening.
