During the winter, we have to get creative with thinking of activities to do with the kids. For one Friday evening, we went to Papa Murphy’s and got a Chicken Bacon Artichoke pizza along with some free cookie dough and rented the Smurfs movie. We came home and got to setting up a picnic in our front room. We had a lot of fun eating our dinner that night and enjoying the movie together. That night we even got to camp out in Owen’s room. My parents bought the kids sleeping bags the last time they were up and they were excited to be able to use them for the camp out. Getting the kids to relax when they are laying by each other is a major chore but we still had fun making wonderful memories. I just love being able to spend my time with my cute little family
The kids also love helping me cook. For FHE, Vanessa choice of dessert was a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. We had a lot of fun making it and got pretty messy and sticky too! The kids love licking the beaters. I remember that was my favorite part when I was little too! The cake turned out delicious even though it was missing some of its batter. The kids kept dipping their beaters back into the batter to get more.
I really enjoy cooking with the kids. I have some many wonderful memories of cooking with my mom and grandma. I am very thankful that they took the time to do that with me and to teach me how to love cooking. Now, I get to do the same thing with my kids and I love it!
