My little grandson loves to help in the kitchen. He is 2 1/2 years old and although still young and has an attention span of a gnat, I wanted to bake Christmas cookies with him. He's my first grandchild and I was so ready to share this cookie baking moment with him knowing that flour would be all over the floor, lots of frosting licks, and an explosion of sprinkles. It was time to live with that mess and all the joy that comes with it!
And did we have fun rolling the dough and cutting the cookies? Yes! Owen's dad helped frost the stars and hearts and other shapes, and guided his little hand from piling too many sprinkles on the cookies. It was such a precious hour filled with fun and laughter and memories to last for a lifetime.
What a sweet memory. And you have a cookie cutter in the shape of Michigan (lower peninsula)
