It’s COOKIE making time!!!

Soooo, I had this GRAND idea one day…so I called Liz up, “hey, why don’t you bring Sydney over on Friday and she can make cookies with Trigger.”  I was kind of wandering what I had been smoking when I had that thought…BUT, it actually went VERY well!  Trigger had a BLAST, of course! 

Here are the cousins waiting oh so patiently…haha!!

TIME TO START:  I got the *homemade* dough out of the fridge…actually, because I am ALWAYS looking for easier and faster ways to do things with limited time that I have, I decided to try pilsbury’s already made sugar cookie dough.  I added some flour and mixed it in and they WERE FANTASTIC!!! 

And it didn’t take long before Trigger realized that the dough tasted REALLY YUMMY!  and after that, there was little rolling and ALOT of tasting!

See the evidence on his face…

And then Liz and I lost all control and they were shoveling dough in their mouth!  That was the end of the cookie making! :) So while the cookies were baking, Sydney and Trigger played.  I heard some commotion so I went to see what was going on…this is what I found…

Soooo…my teacher voice came out, “okay…either you two get along and play with it together OR I’m taking it away”…guess what, there was not a peep made out of either of them and I took this picture a SECOND later!

And this one was taken a second after that and it is THE BEST PICTURE!!!  It just screams pure JOY!!!!

Beautiful girl! After a little playing, it was time for a little work.  I had had Trigger paint a reindeer for our house a few days before so I thought I would get Sydney to paint one too!  Trigger made a second one for Matt to take to his office!

Waiting patiently…

Trigger got a little bored…

By this point the cookies were ready to decorate.  Again, Trigger quickly discovered how good the icing tasted and he licked, licked, and licked his knife and then devoured his cookie.

  I thought Trigger just looked like a little angel standing there in that big white shirt.

We ended the day with a little storytime with Zizzy!!

and I took a few pictures of Campbell…it may seem like he was neglected from the lack of pictures of him in this post but believe me, he was loved on the WHOLE entire morning!!!  This was Trigger’s outfit from his first Christmas.  Trigger filled it out a little better..and Campbell almost can’t wear it because he sooo long.  Funny how they are built totally different!

This is what I was referring to in C’s 6 month post…he always does this with his thumb with his other fingers in the air. 

And guess who wouldn’t cooperate for a quick picture?!?! So, it was a FANTASTIC morning…Trigger and Sydney had a BLAST!!!  I’m so glad that we did that…and maybe we can do it every year!
