We went to Aunt Deanna's house to do some more baking with the kids.  This day we made sugar, peppermint and ginger cookies.  All the kids had a blast baking with their cousins and the adults loved it too!  You can never have too many cookies over the holiday season!!!

We went over to my friend Natalie's house this year to bake cookies with the kids.  It was so much fun!  We made sugar cookies using different cutters and then the girls got to decorate them!  I always love to bake cookies around the holidays and it's always more fun when you get to do it with others.  What a wonderful day!



Christmas Card Pictures!

For our Christmas card this year I decided to take my own pictures in our backyard.  We have this cute little evergreen tree back there with this small bench which worked out perfect.  Of course, I had to use some props like suckers and candy canes but it worked like a charm!  The girls did great!

So every December 6th we celebrate this tradition in our household.  The girls put their shoes out by the front door the night before for St. Nick.  He fills their shoes with a little present which they find in the morning.  This year the girls got a new playdoh set with animal cutters and new coloring books!

Thankful!

So I know this is a late posting but our computer died and we just got a new one for Christmas.  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.  This time of year I always sit back and really enjoy how blessed we are in so many ways.  To see the holidays through the girls eyes is so much fun!  Its hard to imagine what it was like before they were here.  I am so thankful for my family and the joy they bring to me.
