Ciara thrilled about getting to help, normally her sisters and brothers are to enthusiastic for her to get a chance.
The fantastic thing about the cookie press is the speed that the biscuits get made, it takes 2-3 secs for a cookie to come out, so we were up to over 100 in no time at all.
The children had a great time decorating them.
And Eden had her first go with using an icing bag with chocolate inside(I thought dad would appreciate chocolate ones more than sparkly ones).
When Michael got home and saw that Niamh was taking a whole lot for all her gymnastics friends he asked me to make another batch the next day, so we did another 100 or so the next day too.Our reading and decoration is:
Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel."Isaiah 7:14
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.”
Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:26-38
