The kids and I spent the morning at Tyler's house, making cookies for our second annual Fireman Cookie Bake. The boys and Maddux put sprinkles and tiny candy cane candies on sugar cookie dough, making sure to test the sprinkles themselves. I think Maddux was the first to swipe a bite of dough, and Ty was quick to follow her lead. The three then prepared brownies. Each of the boys got to stir the batter and add something to the mix; Maddux was off playing at this point. While the goodies baked, the kids played and looked at the Christmas tree. Considering how long we were just hanging out, everyone played very well together. When the cookies were ready, the boys each had a sample (Maddie had a pretzel instead) and approved of our work in the kitchen. It was then time to load everyone up and head down the street to the fire station.
Last year the boys got a full tour of the fire truck, as well as some souvenirs. The firemen were so nice again this year, taking Eli and Maddux to the truck to sit in the front. They even posed together for some promotional pictures for Monster (whose reps just happened to pull up at the same time we did with free drinks).
