Easy Baking!

Neeley's grand wish from Santa this year was an Easy Bake oven! Which by the way is not so easy when you have a 2 year old who wants to join in as much as a 4 year old. She kept trying to stick stuff in the oven while Neeley and I were mixing!


Our first gourmet creations were some pink my little pony cookies with white icing.  We mixed them up and then stuck them in the EASY bake oven.  Well it turns out that it was not as easy as I thought it would be.  You see, Santa (I love having someone to blame) forgot to put a bulb in the oven!  So our first attempt at EASY bake cookies actually got cooked in our toaster oven instead!  But neither Neeley nor Kayla seemed to mind since they got to eat the finished product!  I think we have some future chefs in the family!

My little buddy!

Jeremy took Neeley to Golda's play yesterday which left Kayla and I to spend some time together.  I really don't remember the last time Kayla and I had the whole afternoon together.  It was really fun to have that time with her.  She played by my side while I did some work and then we ate lunch together.  When I asked her what she wanted for lunch she excitedly answered "Mote-Meal!"  Kayla loves oatmeal.  She loves to pour it into her bowl out of those little packets and then she has to have a snitch and eat some of it before we put the water in.  After mote-meal, we spent some time together playing.  I love to hear Kayla talk because her speech is so mature for her age.  It is fun to hear what she will come up with next.  Today she looked at me and out of the blue she said, "You know what Mom, I love you very much!"  I can't believe that my little baby is now going to be a big sister!
