Little cook

Ah, I can't express how fun it is to bake with a grandchild.

Today my oldest grand-daughter came for a visit and made some gingerbread men.

.

She quickly had to put on an apron. I was surprised how adept she was at rolling dough.

I asked her how she knew and she said she learned it making lefse.... I forgot, her mom's family has a big lefse making party... if you're not Scandinavian, you may not know what lefse is... maybe I'll do a blog post on it soon...)

.

And then I gave her brief instructions on decorating with royal icing and using the piping bag.

She experimented on the waxed paper and then went right to town on her cookies.

.

She was very creative and needed no help whatsoever.

Oh, grandma is sooo proud!
