Every year we bake cookies with Dan's family. Isaiah and his cousin really got into it this year. The boys and Dan enjoy making the press cookies.
As far back as anyone can remember, the color of the press cookies has alternated between red and green with the passing generations. Dan's mom rebelled against her mom, who liked red, by choosing green. Dan rebelled against his mom by choosing red. Isaiah is continuing the rebellion by choosing green.
Dan demonstrating the proper cookie placement on the cookie sheets. Isaiah, watching to learn. Lorrie, watching to make sure Dan's doing it right. Lol! We take our cookie baking very seriously. =)
And we couldn't forget goodies for our winter friends. I found this idea in a magazine (can't remember if it was MomSense or FamilyFun). We spread peanut butter all over several mini bagels. Then the boys stuck crushed ritz crackers, cheerios, and raisins on the peanut butter. I'm sure you could use other types of cereal and crackers, even cookies. Whatever you have in the cupboards that's going stale. =) Then I threaded twine through the bagels. It would have been MUCH BETTER to thread the twine through BEFORE we slimed peanut butter everywhere. That part was very messy!
Then we hung the bagel snacks outside for the deer, chipmunks, birds, and squirrels. The first day, one disappeared. The boys were so excited. Then, by the time we all got back from being away this past weekend, all four were gone.
