Some of you may know that I have been trying to do the grandma thing and let Maddox help me cook so one day she will associate wonderful smells in the kitchen with her YaYa. At Halloween we attempted to make cupcakes. After letting her help me mix the batter, I was terrified to let this two year old loose in my kitchen with colored icing. I convinced Maddox that the rest of the cupcake making consisted of her watching them bake and then we would be all finished. I gave her a sucker, sat her in front of the oven window and she was happy. I decorated them after she was gone....there, I admit it! (But doesn't she look cute watching them bake!)
Well, I tried something different for Christmas. I bought a gingerbread train kit. It's great! Everything you need is included and you don't have to bake a thing. I invited Aunt Julie to join the fun (and help with icing control). I'm not sure who had more fun, Julie, Me, or Maddox.
Maybe she won't remember the smells of holiday cooking, but I hope she will remember the fun of being in the kitchen with her YaYa and Aunt JuJu!
Merry Christmas!
