$10 Bucket of 100 Cookie Cutters: Priceless

I love Bed, Bath & Beyond. There is now one at 69th and Broadway. Woo. Hoo.

Anna had some of her friends from preschool over to make Christmas cookies. I ordered frozen sugar cookie dough from Fresh Direct and we rolled it out onto our (very clean) train table.

[Editorial Note: Many thanks to Gwammy for the gift of the rolling pin last year. I would have looked pretty funny to the other moms trying to roll out four pounds of dough with the little plastic rolling pin that came with Anna's kitchen set.]

The kids loved it. The mess was very manageable. The bucket of 100 cookie cutters is without question the best $10 I have ever spent.

And after eating lunch, as everyone was busy frosting the cookies, Anna looked around the table and asked very pleasantly:

"So, guys, don't you like my house?"

I have no idea if this was just 3-year old conversation filler or if she felt like the accolades were just too slow in coming, but it was quite funny.
