Valentine's Day Cookies - 2/8/14

Williams-Sonoma had a free kid's cookie decorating  class this morning and Harrison and Declan didn't have to think twice about whether or not they wanted to go...they were there! Both had a lot of fun, but Declan especially loved it. After we left he kept telling me the cookie class was "Great!!". He was very proud of his cookie.

 Instruction time lasted about five minutes and then it was time to pile the decorations and frosting onto the cookies! It was funny, because the teacher gave very precise directions about how make the perfect Valentine's Day cookie that no child in the world would follow. But, Harrison and Declan were right up at the front hanging on every word...or maybe they were just waiting for the cookies to be handed out!

This is serious business.

 Turns out that this was just Phase 1.  The decorating continued long after I thought they were done.

 Can there ever be enough frosting, sprinkles, and candy on a cookie for a 5- and 3-year-old?

 Declan proclaimed, "Perfecto!", when he finished his masterpiece. He is such a character!

The Masterpiece.
