All week I have prepared for Friday at 2pm (my daughter’s class party) – I baked 5 dozen Christmas Trees (Sugar Cookies) and made 4 cups of green frosting. I had no idea how this would work first I thought give them sandwich bags and let them pipe everything. The more I thought about it the more I thought that wasn’t a good idea. So I decided to give each child a Dixie Cup of frosting and a craft stick. Honestly I was really scared about how this was going to work and with making Teacher Gifts last night and with how my week has gone I was not holding out hope. Much to my surprise (and other parent’s too) it worked FANTASTIC and the kids LOVED IT! Each child got 2 cookies one to eat in class and one to take home. They also decorated them with sprinkles and colored sugar, we put a little bit on each plate any they sprinkled on the cookies. I can not tell you how great this worked with 19 – 5 year olds (very little mess). I am so happy and relieved this worked and everyone had a great time and loved my cookies I forgot my camera and my cell phone at home so there are NO pictures of the kids decorating the cookies
Finish It Friday! (More like Frantic Friday–lol!)
