Making cookies

Our advent calendar today was to make cookies. So after dinner we made cookies, the kids had a lot of fun rolling out the dough and choosing the cookies that they wanted to cut out. We played Christmas music and just enjoyed each other tremendously.It started to "snow" in the evening and the kids were supposed to be going to bed, but we couldn't help but let them go outside and play, as tired as they were, they had a blast.

On Tuesday, school was cancelled because of the icy roads, so we stayed in and decorated the cookies that we made on Monday. Chloe was very particular with her cookies. She also was very sneaky and ate a lot more than I wanted her to. I should have figured it out when she was being so quiet....
Caleb decorates his spiderman gingerbread man.....I am not sure that one will ever be eaten......

Grandma Lunn came over to decorate her cookies with the kids as well. We were pretty tired of decorating after almost 2 hours of it.....but boy did we have fun. Can't wait for next year!!!
