Making cookies with Hudsy!

There are so many things about Christmas that are more exciting with a toddler around. Watching him discover stockings, countless moments stairing at the Christmas tree, Santa (traumatizing) and even making cookies. Jonathan makes fun of me because I make a list of people we "need" to make cookies for. Our neighbors, doctors, friends, Santa and even our UPS and mail man. OK..... I understand that the last two may sound strange but they are both so nice.

I sent Jonathan to the store for cookie dough the other day. I specifically said, "make sure you get the kind I can cut it into shapes." (I know.... lazy me for not making it from scratch.) Not to my surprise, he came home with pre cut dough. Surely I thought I could roll it out and still cut it into shapes. Nope. Does not work. But Hudson sure looks cute trying.





Hudson is never allowed to sit on the counter so he had fun discovering the paper towels, coffee pot, sink and playing with the cookie cutters.



Taking these things away from him did not make him happy.



Even though our cookies were not in the shape of Christmas trees, snowflakes, stars and hearts, we still had a great time and they turned out delicious. In the words of Hudson, "ohhhhh, yummmm."
