For a few years, I just bough the premade shaped ones and the boys put those on the cookie sheets and decorated them after they baked. I am going to make homemade ones this year, just one kind, since Ethan has an egg allergy.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214275293785068435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993249252244247609.post-30378853764819055642008-12-10T09:20:00.000-05:002008-12-10T09:20:00.000-05:00Thanks for this reminder!

After everyone went to bed, I would make adjustments to make it "perfect". I thought no one knew...WRONG!! A few years ago, I was accused of just that! CAUGHT!! So, now...I put up the tree, and unwrap the ornaments...and let them decorate...and don't move a thing! And ya know what...I enjoy it so much more now!! Glad you could learn this lesson when your kids are so young...wish I had!Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661516952445422483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993249252244247609.post-63881608605130206572008-12-10T08:31:00.000-05:002008-12-10T08:31:00.000-05:00I love this story.

If you were to take pictures during those times, no one will look at them and think "what a mess" "looks so disorganized" (and if they do, shame on them!)... they'll see what you saw when you stepped back... the experience of open hearted children.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447855751835757590noreply@blogger.com
