When Abby was with Aunt Trisha she got a lot of opportunities to "help out" and she didn't want anything to do with toys or books to keep her out of the kitchen; she wanted to be right where all the action was happening!
She heard a lot of laughing going on and smelled a lot of really great smells coming from the oven. My mom asked my sister to help her and then it became quite a scene - can you see my mom?
Since Abby wanted to be in the center of it all, she got to have an apron of her own.
She helped mommy add some ingredients...
Then she even got to do some cookies "on her own." We set up her high chair with flour on it to roll out the dough. She kept putting her hands in the flour and then trying to wipe it off.
After she got some dough I showed her how to roll it out - our pin was too big for her high chair, so we improvised with this cup.
Then we cut out the cookies...
We had such a great time baking our dozens and dozens of cookies. Here's our list of what was made: snickerdoodles, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal cookies, fudge, russian tea cakes, truffles, gingersnaps, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, cut out sugar cookies, and magic bars.
I'm so excited for Abby to be a part of our fun tradition! It's one of the Christmas-time events that I look forward to most every year!
