Cookie Baking Night 11/02/15

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Carissa, Alli, and Rylar. (Ethan had basketball practice, Emily had play practice--and so it begins). Since we are now in the month of November, we decided to make the famous turkey cookie.

This cookie takes a lot of prep work and assembly, and the kids love every minute of it. 

Even my mom got in on the act.

Tonight we read lesson 17 from Leading Little Ones to God by Marian Schoolland. This lesson was titled "God Mad All Things for His Praise". We talked about all the different ways the creation praises God 

and all the different ways we can praise God. 

Carissa read Psalm 150 from the Bible for us. 

Praise the LORD!

Praise God in his sanctuary;

praise him in his mighty heavens!

Praise him for his mighty deeds; 

praise him according to his excellent greatness!

Praise him with trumpet sound; 

praise him with lute and harp!

Praise him with tambourine and dance;

praise him with sounding cymbals;

praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD!

Yep. You guessed it. When the kids go home, my parents have retired to their room, and the house is quiet once again, Greg and I sneak off to the kitchen and decorate cookies. 

Another Cookie Baking Night has come and gone, and tonight we can truly say, a fun time was had by all!
