Happy Thursday and Welcome to Kids in the Kitchen, I am still on my search for the best holiday cookie, which by the way if you have a great cookie recipe let me know!
I love this pictire of Lu multi taskin its too cute shes cutting in cold butter while mixing :)
Here she looks like shes holding down the entire fort, trying to chop those cherries.
And of course you can not finely chop white choclate any other way than with a chopper!!!
I think the dough was her favorite part ... she got so messy then licked her hands for 5 mins, oh the joys of being a kid!
Finished product ... mmm heres the link for the instructions on how to make them, they were super good, my hubby was popping one in his mouth every 3 mins bc they were soo small! I just wander if they are good enough for gifts??Please link up all your great kids recipes, cookbooks, children in the kitchen snack ect.... Can't wait to find out which cookie Im making next week!

Advent Calendar
I would seriously like to know if I am the only mom in the world that goes into the store so unprepared that its ridculous? I searched for 2 full days for cute Advent calender ideas on the internet, picked out my favorite 3 and wrote down everything I needed, and of course the reason I chose 3 so that the store didn't have 1 or more of the items that I needed for that particular one that I could just move on to the next one on my list... Well between the 3 stores only 1 off my list had "everything" I need for that particular advent calendar but it didn't look as great in person as I had hoped :( so back to square 1!
This idea just came to me OUT OF NOWHERE, I haven't seen it before I just saw some items here and there and pulled it off :) and for less than $10 ... and this one does LOOK SO MUCH CUTER in person! I bought 2 pks of gift tags from the dollar tree (the gift tags that almost look like a mini card and have a ribbon/string for tieing to the present) then BACK to target I went where I found a wreath for $5.99 and I had a vision .... isn't it great? I wrote our activites on each one, numbered, and tied it to the wreath. SO SIMPLE ... SO INEXPENSIVE!
Our activites include alot of local events, Christmas movie night, drive around looking at lights, go to the park, read a Christmas book, go to the library, make a gingerbread house, make cookies, holiday craft day, bake, make dinner as a family, drink hot coco on the porch, have a frosty from Wendy's, play dress up, tea party ... ect ect... you get the point right?

Muffin Tin Monday
We have not been able to participate in MTM for a few weeks now, and today I just couldn't deny Lu of her favorite Monday "tradition" she kept reminding me it was Monday! There is no theme today, so she had her Tin for dinner.
The top row was a "surprise/dessert" for her she was able to make her on pudding sundae
Top row: cherries, brownie bits, and pudding
Bottom row: Shepards pie :)
She ate all her shepards pie, then sat off to make her dessert come to life ...
Mmmm yum!
Joshy got so jealous I had to make him a special treat too LOL!
Stop on over to see more great Muffin Tins

I am still on my search for the best Christmas cookies, last week I ruled those out right away due to the crunchy factor! This week however I have a contender!!! These are FABULOUS! I actually want to do some changes to them .. and when I do that I will get back to ya'll on how they are! They are PERFECT just like this, but I have an idea, so I am gonna run with it, and probably make these again next week with my spin on them! (I will also make a "new" cookie I've never tried to make before next week)
This week I am doing it differently .. I've posted a bunch of pictures then I am gonna give ya'll the link where I recieved the recipe from!

The cutest pilgrims ever!
I am IN LOVE .... with this craft, I keep looking at the finished product thinking that Lu and I out did ourselves, I know I know that is super silly but ... just wait till you see!
I am not gonna lie, this is a little time consuming because there are so many details, however its way worth the work! Lu painted the toilet paper roll.
Then she cut small pieces of yellow paper, and balled them up for the corn, she did alot more, but my hands were to busy for pictures!
LOOK LOOK LOOK at these pilgrims ... love them right? I do I do! you can find the instructions here I will tell you this, I used her instructions for a template, you can tell I didn't use foam and felt like she did, or even yellow pom poms for the corn, we used construction paper, bc thats what we had on hand, and it is still sooo cute!
I just can't stand it they are adorable!

Handprint Turkeys
Once a month our playgroup does a craft, and these turkey handprints are supercute which is why I picked to do them this month. Laney couldn't attend the playdate because she was in school, but thats ok, I did it with her the night before and we had a ball!
I just took different pains and painted away her hand.
being the budding artist she is, she had to put her artist touch on it!
and voila, cute, quick fun!
