Snickerdoodles with Ducky Gramma

Eli LOVES to bake and always wants to help.

Thankfully, his Ducky Gramma is one of the BEST bakers around :-)

This morning, the two of them had a fabulous time baking snicker doodles together.

Papa happily worked on a cross word puzzle as the bakers worked.

Alli and Lukey wanted in on the action too and got to help roll the dough in the cinnamon mixture.

Or "chase it around the bowl" for Lukey :-)

He was quite good at counting the number of cookies on the pan.

Such a fun morning of making memories and Garrett will be thrilled to find his favorite cookies waiting for him when he gets home from work! :-)

Gingerbread Man Hunt

On Monday, Alli's Kindergarten class went on a Gingerbread Man Scavenger Hunt

to explore the school and find all of the important places they needed to know about.

 

Her teacher had asked for a volunteer to make 20 gingerbread man cookies and I said I would,

forgetting that we would be in Pullman last weekend . . . enter Ducky Gramma,

who saved the day by graciously making the cookies, which were way better than I could have.

As Alli says, "Ducky Gramma is the best baker in the world!"

 

According to Mrs. Otis, the cookies were DELICIOUS!!!

 

Mommy is not a total slacker . . . I was in charge of decorating

I think they turned out pretty well and I had a number of people comment on the "LCS cookies"

 

Score one for Mommy and Ducky Gramma ~ we made a great team!!!
