I love to bake and, even more so, I like to get others to enjoy baking. I may not be the best and I am certainly no Buddy from Cake Boss, but I tend to think I'm pretty good at it. So it only seems natural that I try to pass my love for baking onto my 5 year old niece, Kendall.
Trevor and Kendall are on Christmas vacation and, since I am still on medical leave from work, we decided to have a sleepover last night. It was a lot of fun! We watched Despicable Me, saw the end of Back to the Future on AMC, and read a few books before going to bed. When I asked them what they wanted to do today, their response was that they wanted to make chocolate chip cookies...from scratch.
After a quick trip to the grocery store (where we picked up other essential items such as Toy Story 3 gummi snacks, peanut butter M&Ms, and original M&Ms), we came home to start our cookies. After a quick visit by Grandpa Ed to help fix something, we were off. I do not have any pictures from the actual baking of the cookies. Why, you may ask? It's because I was doing all the baking while my 2 little helpers were doing this:
Kendall is playing on the iPod, and Trevor is playing the Wii. So much for them wanting to make the cookies. :)
Our cookies ended up turning out very well and, as Kendall put it, they were the "best cookies ever." (No, I didn't even have to pay her to say that.)
Here is our finished product:
I think they turned out pretty well. We've already delivered some to Denise who is working up at church today. Kendall made a sign that said "Made with Love," and Trevor walked in saying "Cookie delivery!"
It was a pretty good day with my little buddies.
