Christmas Cookies for Santa

On Christmas Eve, we baked special cookies to leave for Santa!

Amara got us started by getting the bowl and spoon ready.  Then she took a nap.


Mama and Kiran stirred together the ingredients.



Then we rolled out the dough and cut the cookies.


Time to paint the cookies with Dada.


We each took turns painting cookies.


Kiran did a great job keeping the red and green separate.  :-)


Dada paints a masterpiece.


Kiran helps Mama on Mama's turn.


Kiran watches patiently during Dada's turn.


Kiran's turn!


Kiran shows Dada which cookie she's going to paint next.


Kiran helping Mama again on Mama's turn.  I asked her why she always helps Mama, but never helps Dada.  Her reply?  "Because Dada doesn't NEED help."


Not helping Dada again.


I guess we got a little more confident in Mama by the end.


When Amara woke up, she helped to put the sprinkles on the cookies.


It's a very serious job.
