We had 8 little ones over today all under the age of 4 to decorate Christmas cookies. It was a ton of fun and a little crazy. My kitchen floors will never be the same after today! 
Going around the table we have Dylann (1 1/2), Asha (2 1/2), Elias (1), Jack (1 1/2), Andrew (2), McKenzie (3 1/2), and Gage (3 1/2). Missing from the table is baby Micah who is 6 weeks old. It was such a blast. We had all sorts of cookies, frosting, and all sorts of things to decorate. I'm not sure how many cookies were eaten during the session or how much frosting ended up in little mouths, but we had enough left over to last us until Christmas. All of the kids made a big mess, but Cindy's kids took home the prize for messiest. Asha's hands might be permanently green and Elias was caught drinking frosting out of the bowel.
Gage really took to the Orange colored frosting and made many orange Santas, bears, trees, and stars. He sat and decorated until the last cookie was decorated. I did catch him several times with his finger in his mouth but he refused to eat any of the cookies that he decorated. Dylann would sit and decorate a cookie, get down and play, eat a cookie, and then decorate some more. She was very particular about her cookies. The would paint them until every last bit was covered with frosting, then she would put on sprinkles and proceed to pick off the sprinkles and eat them. She was very messy when it was all said and done.
When the kids had enough of decorating cookies they decided it was time to burn off some of the energy all of that sugar made. Dylann took the 2 little boys up to her room and they all ran around and giggle for a very long time. I don't think they were playing any game in particular, they were basically just running in circles.
Eventually Dylann had to take a nap, but kids that were still over were still on a sugar high. Gage, Asha, and Elias were running circles around our living room for about an hour while Cindy and I were cleaning up and Cindy was getting ready to go. All in all it was a great day and our goal for making a complete mess and having tons of fun was met.
