Snickerdoodles

 To be honest, I did not have anything planned for these cute little girls.

However, they love to make cookies and they are very good at it.

"What are we making?"

"Snickerdoodles!"

"Do they have Snickers in them?"

 These girls know how to work as a team and share.

I try to encourage them to work it out among themselves who is going to do what.

It's fun to listen to them take a few minutes to decide who's turn it is

to crack an egg, measure the sugar, mix the dough......

I will hear;

"I haven't had a turn"

"I only had one turn"

"You're after her"

"Can I be first, since I am the newest person?"

they always figure it out.

 We had to work fast if we were going to get them baked for them to take home.

These cookies burned up my hand mixer.

I could have used my Kitchen-Aid, but I wanted them to use the hand mixer.

While baking and waiting for parents we recited the 8th Article of Faith...

We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; 
we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
