Sugar Cookies

Just this year, the women in our family (Jessie, Mandy, Chelsea, and Me) have begun a Christmas ornament exchange. The ornament I gave out was a sugar cookie of their initial (fake of course) and with it entailed sugar cookies!

I was planning on just doing store bought cookies that we could roll out and punch out, but... Jessie insisted on having her cookies be the real deal. I assumed this would be easy, especially since she wanted to "make them herself." Boy was I terribly wrong. Between her yelling "mom it's not working come here!" and "get away i'm doing it myself" I began to believe my daughter was bipolar... I mean did she want my help or not???


By the end of the night my kitchen was a wreck, flower was spilt all over the floor, counters, and i'm pretty sure there was even some on the cieling. Although it was a very stressful night, Jessie had a great time making sugar cookies.


Favorite Quote of the night "How am I ever going to Learn if you keep doing it for me?" -Jessie
So does that count for laundry, dishes, picking up messes... etc? Hahahah.
