Making Christmas Cookies

Sara and her Dad made Christmas cookies tonight. Dan made some really tasty cookie dough this time and some frosting. Sara had fun rolling it out and doing the shapes. Sadly, Dan made some fantastic frosting for the cookies but when we let Sara taste test it she was throwing up within 2 minutes. We're pretty sure she has an egg allergy but we wanted to try anyway. He made the frosting with powdered egg whites. We ended up throwing it away and he made cream cheese frosting instead and she was perfectly happy with that.

Also, Sara is really into making necklaces and stringing beads. She's made probably 10 necklaces that she wears a lot and we've recycled some of them. This was one we recycled. I showed her a pattern to do where she did one butterfly spaced by 2 or three round beads. She did it pretty well and I think this is one of the nicest necklaces she's made. She was really proud of it and since she wears them every time we go out in public, now I can be proud too.

Sara was back to making up lyrics for Christmas songs. Today she was singing, "Ho Ho the Mr. Toe, hung where you can't see". It was pretty funny.
