Cooking at Grandmama's House

I took the girls to visit Grandmama today. Hayden was supposed to help make all the goodies with Mimi, Grandmama, Aunt Vickie and Aunt Linda but instead she made her own little cookies with Aunt Linda and they were excellent. She even put lots of sprinkles on them and they were snowflakes, snowman, and star shaped. Mimi had even bought her the perfect little Christmas apron to wear, as usual she adorable. Gracie thought that they were one of the best things she has ever eaten and Hayden brought plenty of them home for her Daddy! Aunt Vickie and Mimi cooked all the other goodies with some assistance from Grandmama. Hayden was more excited about going back and forth to Aunt Linda's house. The first time they went were to get the cookie cutters, the second time they went was to get Hopper(Linda's rabbit) so that Gracie could see him, and the third and last time was to see Linda's fish...Apparently Linda's house was very exciting and every time they came back Hayden had another surprise. She ended up with play doh, pencils and a Christmas coloring book.

Gracie had lots of fun playing in the rocking chairs and she even colored for the first time today. It was very cute, she was concentrating very hard to make a pretty picture. Gracie seemed to like Hopper pretty well, although she wanted to hold him instead of pet him and when she was done she wanted to just push poor little Hopper in the floor...Thank goodness Linda and Hayden were there to protect him. Gracie spent the majority time walking around trying to figure out what every one was doing.

When we all got ready to leave Grandmama's house, Hayden wanted to go play with Tiger(Mimi's new kitty). Gracie fell asleep on the way to Mimi's house, so Hayden only got to play with Tiger few minutes. I finally convinced her it was time to go home, but I think she is planning to spend the night with Mimi and Pop tomorrow night, so she will have plenty of time with Tiger!

We had a good time today, I wasn't much help in the kitchen...I'm not very good at cooking the goodies! I only make buttermilk and coconut pies! I stick to the things I know I am good at!!!

I can't wait until Christmas! Santa is coming SOON! I can only imagine Hayden's face Christmas morning, I am sure it is going to be priceless!
