Well I know I'm probably a horrible mother for not doing this sooner but oh well. Last night I decided to make it an evening of making Christmas cookies with the children. It was definitely an adventure!!!! I am not a very good cook or baker as it is so it is hard for me to let kids help when I need help myself. Nevertheless I did it. Not only did they stir the ingredients but they also measured them, poured them and cracked the eggs. I liken the egg cracking to a stress ball in someones hand. They thought it was great fun and miraculously we only got one tiny bit of shell into the mix. They did really well and really enjoyed it. Maybe I'll be more adventurous in letting them help with meals sometimes. Then I'll have someone other than myself to blame for the way they turn out. :)
