Elly loved rolling and patting and cutting out and tasting the dough. She really had a lot of fun, but I think her favorite part was wearing the apron. It was like a strapless dress on her (only not) and she looked SO CUTE (as Elly would say. lately everything is "SO CUTE!" to Elly...especially when she sees herself in the mirror "Oh! SO CUTE!" haha). 
More fun in cookie making including what the cookies looked like ready to go into the oven...not bad :)
Lest you think we excluded Owen completely from the fun, here is photographic evidence that he was present. Not that he got to do much helping or tasting, but he was a great supervisor.
While we waited for the cookies to bake and cool, we made a hop scotch game! We colored Dora pictures (of course Dora) and taped them to folders which we then stuck to the ground...viola! I have to admit, we all had a lot of fun jumping around on this.
Andrew gave Elly lessons in hopping on one foot. I was surprised at how well she picked it up. Maybe it's those dance lessons paying off in other areas too??
Then it was time to frost and taste. Don't let Elly's face lead you to believe anything less than she LOVED the cookies and gobbled up quite a few.
Here are our finished creations! So we aren't Van Gogh, but maybe more like Monet? Maybe more than impressionist, they are abstract like Picasso? Well, in any case, they were works of art to us!
And see? I told you Elly loved the cookies. It's written all over that sweet little face! Can you say "Anumma Cookie?" (Elly did SEVERAL times!)

Wow, how did she get frosting up by her eye!? The cookies look awesome, and sounds like a fun night! Elly is SO CUTE, I can't believe she says that!
So cute! It looks like you had the perfect night!
What a fun time! I still can't believe you are in our old ward. Terra was up here this weekend and I got to see her. She told me she was your visiting teacher...what a small world!
