On Monday we invited Aly's friend Maya over for a play date. What made it more special was that KK would be at preschool so Aly would have Maya all to herself! I knew she would just love it! We picked up Maya after dropping KK off at preschool. I had to run to the grocery store for a couple of things so the girls happily sat in a car cart and had a great time chatting as I picked up my groceries.
When we got home the girls went straight to the playroom and starting playing. I began unpacking from our trip and getting some laundry going. For lunch at Maya's request the girls had grilled cheese sandwiches which I cut in the shape of snowmen. Maya had brought Cheetos over as a special snack so they had those for lunch as well as some apple pieces which I cut up in various shapes. They decided to have a picnic lunch on the floor.
After I cleaned up from lunch we decided to make some Christmas cookies. I gave each girl their own pan and they each got to choose what shapes they wanted to cut out and put on their pan. Maya let the choosing and Aly decided she wanted to do whatever shape Maya was doing!
The girls had a great time. Do you know what the hardest part for me was? Letting them decorate the cookies themselves. Yes, I really wanted to control the amount of frosting and decorations but I decided it was best to let go. I actually left the room so that I would not be tempted to control their decorating. They did a good job. More frosting and decorations than I would like but hey, that is all part of being a kid right?
Do you know they ended up using two whole bottles of sprinkles? Hee, hee!
They were so proud of their cookies! We let Maya take home her cookies, lord knows we don't need all that sugar in our house. Sorry Cathy for passing on such a sugar high!
