I had a little surprise for the kids when they came home from school. I had made Christmas cut out cookies & chocolate peppermint cookies for them to decorate. I realize part of the fun is cutting out the dough, but ever since the time has changed I feel like it’s a race to get everything done that we need to, let alone have time to play or read together. So I thought I would get a jump start on the baking so they could take their time decorating to their hearts’ content.
We don’t focus on perfection…we focus on the fun in our home. Of course there’s a big mess to clean up, but I finally have become smarter through the years and given each kid their own large baking sheet to decorate, spill, sprinkle, drizzle ~ whatever they want on it. It really does help with the clean up.
I think it’s pretty obvious they like the icing, wouldn’t you say???
When it’s all said & done, and their masterpieces are finished…they are so proud!
With school being out soon for Christmas break, we even made extra cookies to freeze for next week. Our favorite routine is to have cookies (any kind will do!!!) drink hot cocoa, the kids will get their Christmas pajamas on & we’ll read a few Christmas books or watch a Christmas movie. It is by far their favorite thing, and of course all centered around the glow from the Christmas tree.
And, I must say ~ it is my favorite too!
I think we all can agree that kids are the cutest in Christmas pajamas! Your little ones will drift off to sleep quickly in fun and festive holiday PJs featuring Santa, reindeers and snowmen from Carter’s. I can’t tell you how many times my kids will fall asleep watching a movie or while we’re reading, but one thing I know is Carter’s PJs fit snugly and keep them cozy for a great night’s sleep! If you don’t have a Carter’s store near you, you can always search for the closest one to you, or shop online. You can see their entire collection of cute kids pajamas online.
