But it could have been the sugar talking.
Today was a day that could live in their memories forever. But they're only 2 and 1, so it's going to stick in ours instead. Today was sugar cookie day. Sasha made the dough and all three of them (with a little bit of daddy's help) rolled, cut and decorated the cookies.
Alya was way into it. She had received a mini-baking set as a present from her Great-Aunt Dawn, so Alya had her own rolling pin and baking tray. The cookies themselves were cut using a set of number cookie cutters from her Great-Aunt Mae.
So that's where you could find Alya this afternoon. Rolling, cutting and eating cookie dough.
Once that was complete, Sasha sat both Marcus and Alya that the table, with a stack of cookies, frosting and sprinkles. The image Sasha had was "fun times decorating cookies." The reality for the kids was, "yum." Yes, the two of them ate was too many cookies - which they coated with frosting themselves. Quite amusing, and a joy to watch.
Neither of them will remember the occasion, but twenty plus years from now, when they start talking about marrying that special person, we'll bust out the pictures and show their cookie extravaganza.
And maybe give a warning about how much they enjoyed running around starkers too.
Be seeing you,
Jon
- Who never ran around starkers... I think.
