My Super Chefs, well at least one super chef and one super cookie dough eater!

We made Christmas sugar cookies, a really fun family tradition, with our super chefs! Well, at least one super chef and one super cookie dough eater. It was such a special occasion that we pulled out the family Ratatouille Chef hat from our Euro Disney trip this past fall. Benjamin is getting really good at helping us in the kitchen, meaning we actually don't have to redo things he helps us with anymore :)

Benjamin and Mommy have all the supplies ready and pose for a before photo.
He's really into the whole process, this was a lot of fun for us all.
Our cute chef!
Um, what about me? Don't you think I'm cute too? What's wrong, am I blocking your shot? :)
Of course not precious! You are a big helper too! And equally adorable!
So excited to be "helping"!
That is until he discovered how yummy the dough tasted... then he just wanted to eat eat eat! He yelled when we took it away :)
Not half as interested in the special family chef hat...
as he was in eating more dough!
Back to the big boy, time to roll out the dough.
And use the cookie cutters!
He really wanted to be involved in each step...
And stayed with it the whole way through.
We had to let Liam join in once again, notice Benjamin's expression :) He does love his brother, but I think he was wondering why we would want him to help... he doesn't know how yet mom!
And finally, the decorating!
Here are two of our first creations! What a fun night!!!
