Cookie Baking and Christmas with the Grandkids

[4 Dog Mother]

Things have been so busy I have not had time to upload and post pictures of our Christmas with Jasmine and Dominic living here. So to begin here are pictures of Jasmine helping me bake the cut-out cookies this year.

No, Dominic, bows aren't toys, they are hair decorations.http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7cc10b3127cceb2b6514dc20300000026108JZOGrlm18

Read me my new book, Paw, Paw.

Most of the dogs were in crates as Santa sort of overdid it. Dakota definitel got kicked out - she is just too big to be in the same room with all those gifts and the kids. But since we don't have crates for everyone - here is Dazzi trying to get in the middle of things.

Hee hee - thanks for sharing the pictures with us!

In my family, everyone's first hand-on cooking experience was gingerbread cookies at Christmas time when each of us was four years old. My Mom had a huge bowl, big and sturdy enough so that not much flour would spill out, and there's not much harm that can be done to gingerbread dough by over-stirring!
