I shared one of those wonderful family bonding experiences last weekend when my sister and her granddaughter and my granddaughter and I all gathered to bake and decorate Halloween cookies in my kitchen.
The little girls, three and seven, don’t get to see one another too often and it’s usually noisy and hectic when the entire family gathers, but this time they got to spend a quiet afternoon just having fun one-on-one. Like most kids, they also like both cookies and craft projects, so they greatly enjoyed selecting their cutters and turning out the shapes they particularly wanted. (Meanwhile, both sets of parents were off having their own outing at the U. of Maryland homecoming football game—a different but equally important bonding experience!)
