So I accidentally introduced my 10 year old niece and 8 year
old nephew to the term ‘Photobombing’ over Christmas. Which, I guess, is the
best case scenario for things I could have said/taught them. We were doing our
annual gingerbread house decorating and I was snapping pics. I went to have
Isaac pose and Jaelyn jumped right in front of the picture with a silly face….and
it turned out to be just as silly as Isaacs face. I was like, “Jaelyn, you totally photobombed
Isaac. Good one!” They both stopped in their tracks and said, “What’s
photobombed?” I explained
and they proceeded to attempt photobombs the rest of our Christmas celebration.
It was actually pretty funny, but made it tough to capture their sweet innocence
in pictures. I won’t complain though; I’ll take their goofiness any day of the
week!
Up next in our cookie collection are Almond Butter Cookies.
My dad makes these using a cookie stamp
, but you could use the bottom of a glass
to lightly flatten. I love the almond butter flavor! It’s a nice surprise from
a standard sugar cookie.
