december 22nd:

make gingerbread cookies

we quickly made the dough and then spent the next hour or so letting it chill - all the while i heard several renditions of "mommy!  is it time yet?"  

 

she was beyond excited for cutting out cookies.  kate also loved eating whatever pieces of gingerbread dough she could sneak from the countertop.  once the dough was ready, we rolled it out and kate went to town cutting out shapes.

once they were cooled enough, both girls wanted a bite.  while kate is more of a gingerbread dough fan, beth loved her entire cookie!
