One-on-One Time

We have been trying to spend more one-on-one time with our daughters over the last few months so we can get to know their interests and help them develop more talents. We have dedicated a few hours each month with each of them. Some months are better than others. The girls have their choice of doing whatever they want with that parent, whether it's window shopping, cooking, bike riding, walking or learning new things. They have really enjoyed it and so have we. Today we had time so we took advantage of it.
Katia loves cooking and baking so Sundy and she spent time in the kitchen learning how to make mint brownies. She even made them look all pretty.
They were delicious!

Kiara and Scott spent time making a music video about puppies. Kiara loves animals of course. We finally got a video to upload so you can see what they made. Kiara did it while Scott talked her through it. We all had a blast.

We do this with our kids, too, and we love it! The brownies look yummy! Reminds me of the time we came over to your house for dinner, and Sundy made a mint dessert, and substituted mint schnops for mint extract - do you remember that?! Fun times. =)

Very cool thing to do. A valuable use of your time from what it looks like. If it were me I would encourage the cooking thing. That is a talent that brings extra dividends to the parents!

The kids gathered round to watch the puppies. They loved it! (Shannon esp!) Wish I could've tasted one of those mint brownies too! (My fave!!) They look professional!
