Christmas cookie baking

Little G and I made Christmas Cookies again this year but unfortunately we where able to hang them on our tree, we where very worried that the Cats (Simon & Mielie) might eat them.

 

 

Recipe to follow

Wrapping paper - potato stamping

In sticking with our creative Christmas we decided to make our own wrapping paper to wrap the sock mice.

Cut the potatoes into the desired stencil shapes, this is def a job for Mommy

Mix some powder paint (as per instructions)

Start stamping, wait for it to dry and wrap your special present

   What simply fun, Little G had a ball

Sock mice - presents for our cats

The Cats def got spoilt in our house this Christmas, I made them each a sock mouse filled with some catnip, Simon loved it so much he couldn't wait to open it so he decided to open it himself.
