At The Gardener's House--with the new kitchen--

 Holiday yumminess prepared by a houseful of pink and pretty little children, learning while doing what they can...Micah is measuring baking powder, with Mom's help...

Micah manages a nice smile, as usual. He's a never-ending source of fun and he's developing a sense of humor of his own....

 This one is busy growing teeth and enjoying the results: the ability to nibble....

 ...while her big sister, Alice takes her role as chef seriously in her darling little hat. Here she's busy pounding a rolling pin onto a plastic bag of graham crackers...

 Molly and her Aunt are working on the same operation...first, the demonstration so that Molly...

...can take over and make lots of little crumbs. I think this was to be for some creamy, butterscotch and chocolate bar cookies. I couldn't stay long but I bet by the end of the day, the house was fully of sweet sugary aromas and the children were full of cookies.
