Baking Cookies

Brayden loves to do anything that we do, which includes baking!  So for Christmas I decided to take the easy way out for time purposes and we bought some prepared dough so all we would have to do was line them up on the pan.  Brayden thought that should be his job so he carefully counted all the way to 8 before losing track and starting over again.  He put them on the pan and then stood by the oven door as they baked.  When we took out the baked cookies he jumped up and down.  Next came the fun part frosting and sprinkles.  I did the frosting and let Brayden sprinkle the cookies.  Before starting we talked about how you would shake a little bit to decorate the cookie.  Brayden thought he needed to turn it upside down and then shake as hard as he could so he ended up covering the cookies in sprinkles.  Hopefully Santa likes cookies with extra sprinkles.

Hi Mommy!  This is fun.

Brayden was so proud that he was doing this all by himself. 

Almost done.  Ready for the oven.

Checking on the cookies since the oven buzzer went off.

Let the sprinkle fun begin!  Half a bottle per cookie sounds good to Brayden.

We got through almost all of the cookies and then Brayden got concerned because he saw we didn't have many left so as I put them in a container Brayden picked one up took a bite and then giggled when I turned around.  He knew he wasn't supposed to have one and that he was sneaking a bite.
