Snowy Days and Baking

The colder the weather the more I'm in the mood to bake. Well, Tuesday it was pretty darn cold and we had a couple inches of snow. As soon as Madelyn and I got home that afternoon, she put on her warm winter clothes and was out the door to play in the snow.




I finally had to drag Madelyn back inside so we could make sugar cookies for her 1/2 birthday celebration at school. We listened to Christmas music and had a grand time baking cookies. I let Madelyn do most of decorating so the cookies were just beautiful. She also made her own dough in her little mixer, but I didn't think the kids would like cookies made from just flour and water so we decided to throw that batch away. The kitchen was a complete disaster when we were done baking but we sure had fun.
