I was determined to make Christmas cookies with Will this year. Obviously, I am not a perfectionist, as I believe the above picture shows!This was the cookie Will went a little wild with:
He was a big fan of icing & sprinkles
Ta Da!
Tasting some more
Several cookies went into the family bowl as Will enjoyed sticking his fingers in the icing and eating that.
He liked doing the sprinkles but was a little too liberal.My little "cooker" was a great help at cutting shapes.
We are taking the cookies with us to the hospital on Tuesday to give to other kids on our floor post surgery. We decided to do little gift packages for the kids & nurses at the hospital as our family Christmas service project. As I tried to explain this to Will & why the kids in the hospital might be sad, he told me they were "probably sad because they miss their mommies."
On Friday, I realized we hadn't yet taken Will to sit on Santa's lap so we braved the crowds & headed to the mall. He did great this year.
Will greeted Santa with a very friendly handshake & "nice to meet you, Santa." He then told him he is "Will & I'm two." He then told Santa he wants trucks, race cars, a motorcycle, & Little People toys. He doesn't quite get what Santa means- he just likes that for some reason he keeps seeing lots of Santas out lately.
I meant to take a picture of my list for "to do pre-surgery" but have been a little busy... cramming in Christmas activities!
He got to open a present that arrived from some cousins in CT - thanks, Dulins! He LOVES his rocket ship!!!
Will loves to play dress up...
We have made little packages as our family service project for other children at the hospital next week. Part of the package is a reindeer craft with the Legend of the Reindeer attached. We had fun one evening making our craft together:
I made rosemary cashews for friend gifts this year & about 13 Black Forest Cakes for the partners at R's firm that he most works with. Will enjoyed helping with "Mommy's Power Tool."
He calls himself a "cooker" & likes to "help" me with baking & making dinner.
We've been singing lots, too! We have made a greatest hits cd for Will's grandparents of some of his favorite songs he sings.

Will loves to play dress up...and he stays in character, even in the bath!
This week, he has been: a cowboy, a mailman, a pilot, a "cooker", a pirate," a baseball player, a dinosaur, and a lion.
I love this age!

Thanks, GAC & GUS for the apron & kid's kitchen set - he loves it!
We've been singing lots, too! We have made a greatest hits cd for Will's grandparents of some of his favorite songs he sings.
This is "Away in a Manger." I LOVE when he puts Jesus night night - he closes his eyes so tightly!

Wow! A lot packed in this one post.
We did brownies and Walker too is very liberal with the shaking of the sprinkles. We are going to attempt sugar cookies on Christmas Eve for Santa :)
Such cute pics...love his hat.
You look awesome Katie--Miss Skinny Minny Runner Mama!
Wow and 13 cakes--how did you find time to do that? You are superwoman--but I've told you that several times before so that's nothing new.
