“Mummy, can I stir it for a while?”
“Sure, Denise. You can stir the eggs and sugar together. I’ll measure the flour.”
“Daddy’s going to be surprised when he sees these cookies!”
“He sure will. Okay you keep stirring while I add the dry ingredients.”
“My arm’s getting sore. Can you stir it Mummy? It’s awfully hard.”
“Okay, I’ll just finish this up. After I roll out the dough we can make all kinds of shapes—Christmas trees and stockings, stars and angels. “
“Can I do that part? Can I do the angels?”
“Why don’t we take turns? Then we’ll cook them in the oven. And, after lunch, we’ll decorate them.”
“Will we put icing on them? I better taste the icing and make sure you made it right, Mummy.”
“Yes, Denise, you can be the official icing taster.”
“And sprinkles? And little silver balls? Mummy, I love you. This is so much fun.”
“I love you too, Denise.”
Let’s journey together.
