A few years ago I started a new tradition with my grands. I have them all over and together we make cupcakes. I let them help with everything. So everyone gets included better we now make two different batches of cupcakes. It works out great. Everyone gets to add ingredients, mix and prepare pans. While waiting for their turn they played together which is a big part of the fun! I receive such joy watching my grands take turns and help each other with this little task. Joy to my ♥!
They all enjoy licking the beaters and I let them! I even had to get an extra one out to dip in the batter so there was enough. This year the first group, Kamryn, Parker, and Zadan all got into licking the bowl. It totally made me laugh out loud....and I had to get a few pictures!
Instead of just having a bunch of decorations like the past years I thought it would be fun to make a few cute cupcakes that I have seen. We made Cookie Monster and some Minions. The kids make enough to take home for their families. Each member of their family got one of each. I thought they turned out cute and the kids had a blast making them and playing with one another. I like including Ivy's step brother Alan too. I invited him a few years back and he had such a good time I will invite him every year.
I had completely forgot about taking pictures with me and the grands until after the cupcakes were done and so while they were playing together we got together for a few pictures. These little ones make my heart smile! They seriously crack me up and make me laugh out loud some more!
They are each so cute and expressive. They love making silly faces and I love the silly face pictures!
Ummmmm....being a Gramma is such a wonderful thing! Spending time with my little's is one of my favorite things to do! I sure do love them! They brighten my life!
