Christmas is almost here! The kids are getting very excited as the presents went under the tree yesterday! Today the kids and I are going to bake some more christmas cookies and decorate them. These cute snowmen have been requested- they were a big hit when we gave them out to friends in my sons preschool class! Some fun treats for the holidays.
The poor children have been watching me do my christmas baking all week and kept asking if they could 'help'. Normally I enjoy letting the kids help me in the kitchen however (as I am a slight perfectionist) I really wanted the gifts I was making to be as perfect as possible- so I kept promising that we would make something together on the weekend. This morning I made the cookies for the Gingerbread House- quickly assembled it- and then let them get creative one by one. Here is the resulting debut of their decorating talents. My eldest who is 5 1/2 even managed to pipe the doors and windows (with a little help). Tomorrow they are allowed to eat it!
I made these beautiful little Reindeer cookies for my son to give to the children in his class at school as a Christmas gift. They were individually packaged in gift bags with a cute little sticker.
I made these lovely gift boxes for my children's' teachers this year. I am always stuck for gift ideas for the teachers so decided homemade treats were the way to go. Each box contained 1 x Jar of Red Pepper Jelly, 3 x decorated angel cookies, 1 x bag of Tamari almonds and 1 x bag of shortbread cookies.
