Sugar cookies are always the greatest at Christmas time and we thought that Santa would also love them too. We had never made sugar cookies and cut them out with cookie cutters before so we thought it would be a good idea to practice before the big night when the "big guy" slid down the chimney. Grant is so funny about things where he has to get his hands messy. He did not want to help mash all the ingrediants into the dough or even use the cookie cutters. He mostly just enjoyed watching from the bar stools and of course, eating the finished product! We think Santa will be pleased!
The whole light process took about 3 hours and we couldn't wait for it to get dark so we could light up the house! When it was time Grant was so excited and said "yea" and clapped at the lights! Now every night we turn on the light he does the same thing. So cute!
The next day we decided it was time to do more decorating and put up the Christmas tree. Grant really loved "helping" putting the ornaments on the tree. He did not realize that he had to be gentle with the ornaments....that took a little bit of practice.
After lunch we all relaxed and many of us took naps. Now that is the life..eating and napping! :) there was also some family coloring time. Grant really enjoyed having his Grammy and Papaw color "Momo" (Elmo) with him.
We all had a great and memorable Thanksgiving with family this year!
He will sit at the kitchen table and color all morning long!
It is hard for a "new colorer" to learn to stay on the paper so we taped 5 or 6 pieces of paper together to the table and he enjoys having more space to color on. Although one morning he was coloring so nicely at the table i decided to unload the dishwasher. When I looked over to check on him he was turned around in the chair coloring on the blinds and the window sill! Oh I will chalk that one up to an experience in parenting! Good thing crayons are washable!
