On Saturday, all the kids participated in mixing, rolling, baking, and taste-testing a couple hundred cookies so that we could get some friends in on the decorating act on Sunday afternoon. The royal icing is still giving me anxiety every time I make it, but it didn't stop us from having a lot of fun and making some gorgeous cookies.
Claire was absolutely beside herself because her kindergarten teacher joined the festivities. She sat by the window for nearly an hour saying, "Is it time yet? When will everyone be here?" When the honored guest arrived, you would have thought it was the Queen of England herself. I mean, Claire even cleaned her room for the occasion!
I'm more convinced than ever that there's something magic about cookies -- they just seem to bring out the best in everyone. Apparently people have thought this to be true for a long time. The history of cookies is a pretty fascinating read! To see more pictures from our sweet, sticky Sunday afternoon, have a look at the YouTube slide show.
What sweet (!) pictures! Beautiful cookies, too. It looks like everyone had a wonderful time. :)
