C is for Cookie!

For as many Christmases as I can remember, my mom has made sugar cutout cookies and we have decorated them. Some years it was just Hayley and me. Some years Shannon would join us. We always stood on our chairs, had our plates filled with cookies and mounds of cookies. Now, we get OUR kids together and we ALL decorate. With 5 kids, 5 and under this is quite the undertaking. It went over pretty well I must say. Here are the pics of the night..Yeah for Christmas Memories!

Gracie climbed up in her chair and wanted to decorate



Reagan did most of the decorating on her own. Getting so big!



Braden did a great job with all of his cookies



For the most part, Yale was the minimalist of the night



Brooklyn liked watching everyone



Auntie Hayley tried to break off the top of a Christmas Tree for Brooklyn. She wasn't interested. Then Auntie Hayley gave her the WHOLE tree. This she was interested in. Aren't Aunties the BEST!





A girl who LOVED her cookies!



Yale really liked the sprinkles



Gracie LOVED the little ball decorations...mommy surprisingly was happy to have her participating and didn't mind the mess so much. Very un-mommy like.



Papa stopped by to say hi. What a nice surprise.



All in all, a wonderful evening spent with family making memories. It is starting to feel more like Christmas! Merry Christmas to you all! Love and Hugs

A Place to Remember

I wanted to have a place that I could remember all the things the girls do as they are growing up. They change so fast and life is just a little to busy to always make time to write it all down. I hope that one day, they will be able to read all the good times we shared and remember some of their own.
