I don’t know when this tradition started but every Easter, Fall and Christmas we’ve always baked, cut-out and decorated sugar cookies. We tried with Abigail earlier this year at Easter, but she didn’t do much being that she was only about 6 months old. So we tried again with Fall cookies – it was better but she still hasn’t gained the appreciation for the event like I do. We still had fun though and she got to wear the apron that Grandma gave her for her birthday…at least she could stand next to me on the chair.
We were going to carve our pumpkin the same night, but I was getting tired so we decided to postpone it to the following week. I don’t think Abby was too sure about the pumpkin guts at first but it didn’t take her long to reach in and dig some out. Dustin and I did a tag-team effort on the carving and realized we need better utensils for next year as our knives were too big. We were very happy with the outcome though.
She's gonna be a ballerina! Look at those pointed toes!
