My niece was about two when I first let her help me make cookies. I set her up with her own apron, taped butcher paper to the counter, put some different colored frosting in plastic bowls, gave her some mini spatulas, baked sugar cookies and let her go to town. She's now 28 and a fabulous baker!pjpuppymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234101901405553621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-31959604388388298152011-12-12T23:19:47.319-05:002011-12-12T23:19:47.319-05:00Elaing8 said, My favorite tradition is when my nie...Elaing8 said, <i>My favorite tradition is when my nieces and nephews come over and we bake Christmas cookies together.</i><br /><br />That's one of my favorite parts of the season.

My mother-in-law used to do a Saturday craft day with all her grandchildren a few weeks before Christmas where they would make ornaments and other fun holiday stuff. We still have some of those ornaments on our tree. Even when our oldest started growing up, I think she enjoyed those times with Grandma.RaeAnne Thaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525272017410758353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-17004764405943542392011-12-12T23:00:52.642-05:002011-12-12T23:00:52.642-05:00Mary, thank you so much :) I really needed to hear...Mary, thank you so much :) I really needed to hear that today since I'm struggling with a deadline and a WIP that doesn't want to behave.
