Last year around Halloween, we started fun traditions with the girls. We have traditions with the boys, but we only do those right before, and on Halloween. So, we started with decorating cookies with our friends Keri and Kenadee. Well today... we had our 2nd Halloween Cookie Palooza with the Mumm girls. Last year, Keri and I learned our lesson about cookie making with the littles... have the cookies ready to frost when they get here. That way, we don't have to wait for them to cook and cool, and last year we lost the kids attention span way to fast!! They would maybe get 2 cookies done. Well this year, I had the cookies ready to go, and Keri brought her yummy frosting colored and ready to frost. So, we gave the girls each their own little cup of each color of frosting,(except the black, cause none of the kids would use it!) because they LICK the knife, and that makes us all a little queasy!! We also gave them little cups of sprinkles, that way we don't go through one whole bottle of sprinkles on one cookie!! (Julles did that last year, 2 times) The kids actually kept their attention on the cookies for 5 cookies!! That is pretty good!! That left a whole lot for Keri and I to do, but it was fun... we got to chat while the kids played.
Julles yummy cookies that she made. She made them into Halloween mosaics with her sprinke job! MMMM!! She even had a little bite of one along the way!! She needed help with spreading her frosting, but all in all she did great, and she had a ton of fun!!!
Beene did a great job this year, she was way more into it than last year! She still would not even think of using the black frosting, so her cat is orange and is decked out in some fabulous colored sprinkles!! She has been looking forward to this day for the last two weeks... it has passed now, and so on to the anticipation of the new Tinkerbell movie!!
These are what was supposed to be my HALF of the cookies that Keri and I frosted, but somehow, she didn't take her HALF, and left a bunch for me!!! Looks like my neighbors are going to be getting a snack tonight!!They turned out really fun!! I can't wait for Christmas Cookie Palooza!! Thanks Keri and Kenadee for coming over... we had a blast!
