Cookies with Grandma!

As a child we made cookies EVERY year. However, most years the majority of the cookies got made after we went to bed. I ~never~ understood...until...Mom, Jenn and I made cookies with Caden last night...oh my! It was a lot of fun. However, you have to roll and roll and roll the dough until it is paper thin and then use the cookie cutters. So, obviously we try to make the most of the dough to get the maximum number of cookies. Caden was very good at getting the LEAST amount of cookies each time! Nevertheless, we all had a really great time! It brought back a ton of great memories of being a child. Caden also got to open his gift of an apron! He loves to help me cook! Caden made us all laugh when he said that he was tired of making cookies and Grandma could do it while he ate them! heh.....I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. In the end, I ended up finishing all of the candycane cookies....I guess some things never change! I love it!

Caden turn to roll the cookie dough! Good Work, Caden! (If anyone knows how I can flip this picture I'd love to know!)
