Hamentachen Baking!

Even though Clara and Emma spent the day at home, it was a very busy Sunday!

The morning started off with speech for Clara, where she got to hold the cards and "be the teacher."

Then, Mommy realized from a posting from her friend Bethany on Facebook that making hamentachen would be a good activity. Mommy got out her recipe (a combination of her friend Rachel and her friend Jen M.'s recipes) and went to work with Clara and Emma.

The gals helped make the dough and then got to fill them with jelly, m & m's and kisses. Emma of course filled them with kisses and then gave them a kiss.

Clara and Emma got to play with new play doh toys with Auntie Alyssa and loved it!

Mommy took Auntie back to Long Island (Mommy's first time driving there) and then came home to join Clara, Emma and Daddy on a winter walk.

This afternoon, Clara and Emma enjoyed fingerpainting! Thanks to Brianna and her blog for the great idea! It was fun, until Clara refused to take a bath - and was standing covered in paint from head to toe. Mommy had to hand wash her out of the bath!

The gals ended their day decked out in their princess dresses pretending to wave their wands and turn Mommy into a tiger.
