COOKIES....Sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate & Oatmeal cookies, cookies shaped like reindeer & lollipops...big, little, round, flat, smooth...all made with Love...all filled with the most delicious ingredients....
It was Cookie Day this week on Wednesday & Thursday at preschool..and I have to say it is one of my favorite activities of the year. Three year olds are still discovering, there are so many new things surrounding them...and this week it was cookies! I LOVE that they come into the classroom carrying their treasures...so, excited to show us...so proud...so very, very happy (as is evident from the smiles that spread ear to ear :D)!!!
And, then, the best part...time to actually eat a cookie...there are humongous (that was our new word today :D) cookie trays filled to overflowing...and the freedom to choose whatever cookie you want. (We also invited the four-year old classes to come join our eating festivities!!!) And, there's NO stopping at just one cookie...everyone can have another one too! Mmmm...Mmmm....Mmmm...and finally the day ends by singing Christmas songs together with our guests! It is heart-warming, joy-filled, and NEVER fails to tug at my emotions. I was and am blessed by the experience!!!
I truly can't thank the parents enough for their time, contributions, & help...but, more than that...I truly always hope this activity brings a memory that will warm both the child & parents hearts for years to come...that maybe, just maybe it will become a new holiday tradition in that home...a time, when the world & the crazy hustle & bustle of the season disappears...and it's all about sharing some warm moments stirring, mixing, (of course tasting :D) and capturing time spent together!!!
So, tomorrow when my pants won't want to button up...I'll just smile and remember that the days before I got to catch a glimpse of joy, excitement, and satisfaction in a job well done!!! (And, the opportunity to taste some of the BEST cookies ever made!!! :D) Sweet blessings!
