Today L and I baked some Christmas cookies. The last couple of years I have baked a sweet that is traditionally Christmas to me once a week leading up to Christmas. We then enjoy the baking all week and put some away to have at Christmas. We eats sweets all the time anyway so why bake something else earlier and expect to eat all of the “Christmas baking” in the few days that we are around here over Christmas itself. The cookies although tasty do not have a Martha Stewart appearance, though they might be good enough for the “Family Fun” magazine. We definitely had fun making them.
At the beginning L had fun with the sprinkles and seeing happy faces take shape, but in the end it was more immediately satisfying just to eat the candy and the little bits of cookie dough that mom let him have.
I managed to make my fruit cakes last weekend, but otherwise there’s little baking gets done here… your gingerbread men do however ahve me reconsidering that habit! 🙂
Given this and the previous entry, L might just have the best Mom in the world.
