Baking with Alaina

Last week I had a vacation day off and I thought it would be fun to do something with Alaina.  I picked her up the evening before so she could spend the night too.  Bob had a meeting at church that evening, so Alaina and I started some baking.

 Here she is, quite proud to be helping with the baking!

 She kept reminding me that she could put things in - "I can help you, Grandma!"

 Here's some of our finished cookies.  Quite a few of those M&M's made it into her mouth.

We were making the cookies to bring to people, so she also made some cards to bring with them.
When she was done with that we watched a cartoon show before bed.

The next morning we did another fun project.

 We made these Reindeer candies.  She loved doing this - setting out pretzels, unwrapping Rolo's and putting noses on them!  (I'll share the "recipe" later this week.)

 When everything was done, we packed up goody bags to deliver.

 One of our stops was at my work. We brought something to the business office manager and 2 aunts who work there.

Here she is with my Dad and stepmom.  We also stopped to see Bobs Mom, our church office, another aunt and Alaina's other grandparents.  By the time we finished she had had enough of deliveries!
It was fun though, and she was pretty proud of her products.  She took some to her house too.
What a fun way to spend a day off!
