Last night before bed I made up some syrup, put together the ingredients for artisan bread to rise over night, and put some sugar cookie dough in the fridge. Despite the clutter of dishes in my kitchen, it helped me feel a little bit more organized to know that those things were done before morning. Shortly after lunch I took out the dough and the boys got to work rolling and cutting. I love working with little hands in the kitchen. They get so excited about helping and it's fun watching them become more independent each time we bake. Soon they will be mixing the ingredients and I will be enjoying the cookies! The last pan came out of the oven a few minutes before my big girl walked in from school. She quickly washed up and then they sat and decorated all of them for the next hour while I cleaned the kitchen and listened to Christmas music. I smiled from the sink as I listened to their little conversations. Siblings make the best friends.
