The kids didn't have school Thanksgiving week, so I thought it might be fun to do a little baking project to pass the time. I'd seen the recipe for these cute turkey cookies online a few weeks before and thought they would get a kick out of decorating them. I made the first one to look just like the picture on the recipe, and gave the kids all of the pieces to do the same. Olivia worked really hard to make hers look just like mom's, but Jackson used his creative genius to create something a little more like...well...a cookie with candy corn stuck to it. The Type A part of my personality had a really hard time allowing either of them to stray from the pattern, but after gently reminding myself that they're only 3, and that the fun part is making the cookies and the mess, I let them go to town!
