You know Catherine, I just love how your children are almost always right with you helping and having fun.
When I clicked on this post the first thing I saw was that little sweet pea licking the batter and I smiled because me and my little Sadie baked cookies today and I caught her doing the same thing. I had dough from my hands to arms and couldnt get to my camera in time.
Your such a sweet mama and yes these are memories you will have for a long time:)

Baking is much fun isn't it. Both of my nieces love to bake and I feel it is because we started baking when they were very small.
Now I am looking forward to baking with my little girl.
Oh yuck! That is not good especially when Mama has the flu. Hang in there!
Love the memory making times and the photos that help to remember them!! :)
Hope you are all feeling better and recovered from being sick!!
That's beautiful! When I think of all the mess after these baking sessions or crafts where there are scraps all over the place, I just think of the fun memories! What beautiful traditions you're creating for your family. Keep it up and get well soon!
