I invited some ladies I work with at school to my house on Saturday for some kid play time and cookie making. 

One of my friends has a 1 year old.  His name is Xiao Niu (meaning little cow).  He was born last year, the year of the Ox.  He is so adorable.  Megan had  fun sharing her plastic animals, rather Maddie’s plastic animal collection and riding Xiao Niu’s little push truck.

Another friend has a little girl who is three years old.  Her name is Ning Ning.  She was a little shy, with Megan, but very much enjoyed helping to make the cookies.  She loved tasting the cookie dough too.

My third friend has an eight year old daughter.  She also loved helping to make the cookies.  Abigail did not like the raw cookie dough.  She did, however love the baked cookies and learning to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet.

It was great fun getting together with other moms, baking my favorite cookies and letting the kids play.
