The Baking Had To Come to an End...

Enjoy the last of the baking shots!


Grace drug her kitchen utensils in the the kitchen and plopped down in the center



More marshmallows on the nose, she cracks herself up



Yummy right...Oreo balls, peanut butter balls and now Christian and Grace are dipping pretzels in chocolate...well Grace would dip, bite and then put the other half on the wax paper



Grace intently unwrapping the chocolate kisses to put in the center of the peanut butter cookies - of course when comes time to eat them, she bites the kiss off and hands the cookie back
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas...our family festivities and celebrations begin tomorrow with a visit to the Fishers, Christmas Eve Candlelight Service and our annual Visit From Santa right before bed time.....more to come on that later.... This will be one magical Christmas with Grace here...we all can hardly wait!








More Baking...

Today is our officially baking day each year and Grace thoroughly enjoyed herself. She was a mess by the end of the day!
She loves to put marshmallows on the tip of her nose...she is so silly
Back off, I got this.....

Christian icing his cookie


Grace and Lily enjoy decorating




Wait is Lily trying to snag Grace's cookie, I think so




Sugar Cookies and Friends

The kids enjoyed making sugar cookies over at Michelle's and icing and decorating them. I will say the big boys played outside almost the entire time coming in long enough to enjoy a bowl of soup or chicken and dumplins and decorate enough cookies to eat at the moment, but all had a great time! Thanks for having us all over Michelle..memories created!

Grace icing a yummy Christmas tree sugar cookie

Grace spotted all Michelle's bowls of candy- chocolate kisses - score!
