Well I am really far behind on my blogging so please accept my deepest apologies!!!

Harry and I had so much fun making sugar cookies for his teachers. I had baught a box kit with "just add water" mis, cookies cutters, frosting, sprinkles, and food coloring. We were set!

Harry got his chair and pushed it over to counter to help. He poured the water in the mixing bowl and turned on the Kitchen Aid. Thank GOD for Kitchen Aids!!! Anyway...I realized at that moment that we didn't have a rolling pin. I was amazed, butch has been in the cooking business and loves to cook didn't have a rolling pin. I thought that was a gimme on your wedding day! He laughed and said we have lived in this house for over 4 years and this is the first time you have needed a rolling pin...maybe that is why we don't have one. Whatever?!?!? Thank GOD for neighbors, Jayne came to the rescue, she was coming over to deliver her Christmas card and save the 47 cents. Ok back to the story...We rolled, cut, and placed the cookies on the cookie sheet. Harry lost interested and thought playing in the water in the sink was more fun. He then decided the counter was dirty and poured a bowl of water from the sink on top of the dough I had just rolled out. I was just glad that I was close to my last set ofcookie cutting. We put the cookies into the oven and took a break...a break mommy much needed!

17 minutes later we were ready to decorate! We kneaded the frosting and colored it red, freen, and yellow. I know yellow was odd but Butch had found some old tim cookie cutters my mother had passed to me and one was a sun so Harry insisted on having a yellow sun. as you see in the pictures Harry loved his tongue turning green after munching on some of the broken cookies. We moved to the kitchen and started decorating. Hary enjoyed dumped the whole cup of sprinkles on the cookies and really thought it was funny that mommy scooped them up and out the sprinkles back in the bowl.

After we finished decorating, it wa bed time. in the morning we pack our red paper sacks with five cookies in each for his teachers past and present. Who would have thought that at the age of two who would already have had 10 teachers, a cafateria lady, and school director in your life. Anyway, sorry I digress....We delivered the cookies to each teacher in thier classroom. We, Harry & I, wore our Santa hats and Harry said "Merry Christmas!" usually as he tossed the bag and ran. Most of the teachers followed after him for a hug and said "OOHHHHH He is all grown up!"

Well, tomorrow night I will update you on Christmas!
