Apron Adventures - Love cookies with the kids

Making valentines cookies with the kids was quite the apron adventure. It also showed me how different each of our kids are.

Aidan's scientific artistic approach: cutting out as many tiny little hearts as possible.
Then artfully arranging them into patterns for baking.


Then decorating each one with precisely one perfect pink flower from a piping bag. It was the cutestest thing watching him with the piping bag held against his forehead, bent over, so focused on making the most perfect little piped flowers! He got really good at it. I know who's decorating the next cake in this family.


Avril's wild animal approach: cutting a few hearts but mostly large dinosaurs, polar bears and elephants.


Then squirting and spreading them with wild frosting designs and circles to match the dots on her cute little shirt.
