Cracking Christmas Cookies!

What fun! This evening our Beavers made Christmas Cookies. They carefully rolled out their dough, liberally sprinkled with icing sugar (sorry about the state of their uniforms, parents!). Our glorious selection of cutters was employed to good effect, and the Beavers amazed me with their ability to squeeze so many cookies from a single block of dough.

Then, a quick game of Duck, Duck, Goose while the cookies cook (ahem), followed by some delectable decoration with icing and sweets. And some very sugary Beavers trundled home with (most of) their Christmas Cookies, ready to go on the tree or share with their siblings/parents/selves at a later date!

I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to all of the lovely Mums (and big and little sisters and brothers!) who helped out this evening. You were all absolutely fabulous and we couldn't have done it without you.

Next week is our Christmas Party, and the last Beavers meeting of term. We'll be celebrating in style, with the investiture of Liam, Nile, Euan and Thomas, and the awarding of prizes to our Star Beavers. Who will they be? You'll have to wait until next week to find out!

For those being invested next week, a quick reminder of the Beaver Promise:
I promise
To do my best
To be kind and helpful
And to love God

If parents would like to see their children being invested, they should come about ten to fifteen minutes early before the end of the meeting - bring a camera!
