Not the Gumdrop Buttons!!

After our exciting Christmas event in the city over the weekend, my day off on Monday was low key. Mike and I got some presents wrapped during Dylan's nap time and then we just had one fun activity to enjoy in the afternoon - cookies!

Dylan is a big fan of the Shrek movies. He's been excited this Christmas to see so many "Gingie's" around. Mike thought it would be a great idea to make some....and he was right!

Making the gingerbread cookies was a family effort. Mike made the dough, I rolled it out, Dylan and I used cookie cutters to make all kinds of Christmas shapes, Mike baked them and then Dylan and I decorated a few.

Dylan enjoyed the using the cookie cutters a lot and really did a great job. He also loves the cookie dough ornaments on our tree. So we're going to try and make some more cookie dough ornaments in the next couple of days. I'll let you know how that goes!
