Baking Christmas Cookies


Today Paige and I made and decorated Christmas cookies. It was quite and experience to say the least.

She really got into it. She likes to be called the "dumper" whenever we bake something. Because it's her job to dump the items into the big bowl.

She loved decorating the cookies. We made different colored frosting, used colored sugar and sprinkles.

Dad even got to help.

Our beautiful cookies.....

Seems like forever....

since I've blogged. I can't believe it's been a month already. I just don't know where all the time goes.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family. We went to Darwin and Debby Eaton's on Thanksgiving day with the Hohensee's. We enjoyed dinner and an afternoon of visiting with everyone.

Later that afternoon, we put up our outside Christmas lights since it was so nice outside. There just seems to be something odd about putting up your Christmas lights while wearing spring jackets instead of parkas!

I had to work the day after Thanksgiving, but Josh ventured out to the stores. I haven't yet decided if he's brave or stupid:) He got alot of bargains and I got a new Christmas tree, so I guess he's brave AND thoughtful.

I only had to work until noon on Friday, so we put up our Christmas tree that afternoon. Let me tell you, it's just beautiful! Paige did most of the work and is so proud of herself. She let Cam help a little bit, but I don't think he really minded not helping much.

We made a trip to Sioux City to finish up our shopping yesterday. I think we are DONE! And Josh and I wrapped it all today. Well, I wrapped and he put the name tags on everything. That counts as helping, doesn't it?

I'm sure Christmas will be here before we realize. Hope everyone is ready for the holidays.
