Making Love Day Cookies for Daddy

Finn woke up Friday morning announcing that he wanted to bake cookies -- RANDOM! The good news was that I had planned to bake cookies for Bill for Valentines Day, so it worked out perfectly.

First we mixed all the ingredients...



Then we make the dough..."One bowl for Daddy and one bowl for me, right, Mommy?"



Finnegan LOVES dough (who doesn't?) He was quite upset when the dough had to go into the refrigerator to firm up...



I distracted him by letting him peel bananas. He filled his belly with two bananas instead.



Mommy and the other little chef.



20 minutes is a long time to wait when you're 2, but it was finally time to roll out the dough (and eat more).

Next we floured the surface, "Ohhh Mommy, it's so soft!"



Then we roll out the dough...



Then we cut, cut, cut, roll some more, cut, cut, cut...Mommy actually did this part while babes napped...Finn couldn't keep the dough out of him mouth.



They're FINALLY all done...that was a lot of work!



On Valentine's Day we made them pretty for Daddy...one from each of us: Cream Cheese Sandwich Cookies -- YUM!



Giving Daddy his Valentine's Day present - a little plate of home-made love:



We love you, Daddy!



Estelle wishes she could have some too!
