I wanted to frost Christmas cookies.  The problem is I don’t make a decent sugar cookie. I just don’t.  [I won’t elaborate.]  And we can’t buy the pre-made because of Stewart’s allergies.  So, I split the difference and bought the Pillsbury roll out variety.  I still stink at making them.  The dumb things stick to the counter, stick to the rolling pin, get misshapen as I transfer them to the sheet, etc.  They look sort of funny, but they taste good and they were fun to frost.  Tabitha and Marie PILED the treats on the top.  Stewart demonstrated his maturity in the care he took with his and the simplicity he sought.  Nigel was a little of both.  ALL WERE HAPPY and it brought me great gladness to do it with them.  They are these neat ages where they are all still interested, but none are so young that I was constantly hovering.  It will be different again next year, as Johanna will be 2½ and we will include her in our merriment.  Hopefully the boys will still be interested.  She will certainly be! ♥
