Cookie Monsters

I saw this fun idea recently and thought it would be interesting to try with the kids this Halloween.  Our sweet niece B came over to help out, we just love her.  K & T were so happy to see her too!  I love thinking about and creating traditions with the kids, and fall has so many of them.  I'm grateful that both Andy & I have parents who began traditions with us and gave us so much joy when we were kids.  We both had such happy childhoods. We love you all!
Here's T, B & K ready to make cookie monsters!

The table is set

T wanted to try everything.  We just gave him 1/2 of a piece of candy corn and he was content.

K on the other hand tried lots of things.  She usually doesn't have a sweet tooth, but she just dove in tonight.

See her licking her lips?  We had been at the table for exactly 20 seconds.

so happy!

K carefully watched B

Mommy worked hard too.

B made a smiley face cookie for K.  K was thrilled.
T happily played with blocks at his high chair.

He's so silly.

Daddy got in on the action too.  Here are our creations, can you guess who did what?

Ready for a bath, we got icing everywhere! 
 I'd say that cookie monsters were a hit!  Can't wait to try them again next year.  Happy Fall Y'all!
