Christmas and more

Cheese! Her favorite boots, a fluffy pink jacket, cute tights. Need I saw more.

Sledding anyone? So, we don't have gloves for him... or matching socks for his hands. Do you like my big 'ol wool sock on his left hand?

I was lucky to get this picture because she spends every spare moment eating the snow.

A little hug for Ethan.

It was so much fun to see everyone again! What a gorgeous group of girls. We had so much fun talking and bowling. Especially after I learned the trick to bowling. Form out the window, just do a chest pass down the lane. I got my highest score ever. (Sad, but true.)

Seriously. My little heart melter in her new Minnie Mouse "tee-jays."

So, one day, I just decided that we should make some sugar cookies. It was so much fun! It's so fun to just through total efficiency out the window and let Katelyn create. I loved how she used the cookie cutters to cut out the dough right in the middle of the rolled out dough. If the cutter didn't go all the way through, no problem, she'd move it a tiny bit and push again. It makes for a nice little shadow imprint.

Then, the frosting. We had three colors and she had her own special small knife (decorative butter knife) and she had a blast mixing the colors and frosting her cookies. I let her do as many as she wanted and they were awesome. (I kind of felt like I should be in a Betty Crocker commercial or something. :) )

Having fun at Dave's family Christmas party. I think I missed my own memo and wore the wrong color.
