Back around Christmas I decided to attempt cookie making and decorating with royal icing. It did end up being quite the job. I was so thankful my daughter was around and wanted to jump in help. I just could not remember any memories beyond needing a thicker icing for borders and a thinner icing for flooding and it really wasn't very difficult. I just didn't remember the bending over and fatigue or the muscle strength needed in hands and forearms... Both of which have declined substantially since the accident.
But hey! we did it. And they were yummy.
So I worked up my courage and attempted these guys a couple of months later to suprise the kids with... Baby chicks around here are not an option, so I hoped they would enjoy these cuties.
Then because they wanted cookies and I was tired several weeks later... we got creative and made flip flops. I set them to work with sprinkles.
Building new memories, re-learning old skills, finding joy in the creating the little things for my kids.
