Christmas baking with my babies!

This week was another first and one that I personally had dreamt about in all the years leading up to motherhood. It's also a specific experience that I thought about often when I was in the hospital for 2 months trying to keep he twins in my belly. The circumstances were very grim at first and it was little day dreams like this that kept me hanging on each day!

Kaden and Kaleiah had a total blast helping me decorate our sugar cookies. I even made home made frosting like my mom did when I was little. While it was a total STICKY, messy project, it was absolutely worth it and it was magical. I am a complete hands on Mommy and live in the moment. I (try my hardest to) don't sweat the small stuff. So while it was time consuming and involved a lot of clean up, it was perfect!











Then yesterday we headed over to my parents house (just around the corner which is just awesome) and did some more baking! It's been raining for days here so this was a perfect indoor activity. My 2 nieces helped as well and my Grandma is in town from Iowa so it was neat to have 4 generations there! I grew up, with my siblings, making these Christmas cookies for as long as I can remember. I LOVED decorating with the homemade frosting. It was so neat to see my children keep a tradition going, one that I did when I was little!
