Cookies and Christmas!

We were a little behind in the cookie making this year, and ended up making them two days before Christmas, since Kylie got out of school early that day.

Sidney helped me mix some of the ingredients up.

Then Kylie got to get dirty and do the heavy mixing.

They cut out the first batch of cookies and then spent the

rest of the time decorating them while I kept bringing them more.

Can you find the cookie?! We had to keep reminding Sidney that

she doesn't need quite so many sprinkles. :)

And even though the lighting is horrible and all orange,

this picture and the next one are just cute!

Christmas was wonderful this year. We went to the Christmas Eve service and then came home and opened LOTS of presents from all our family. We finally convinced the girls to go to bed and then Christmas morning came and they got more goodies from Santa. Then we spent the day just hanging out together and eating LOTS of food. :) It was wonderful. :)

Even the kitties enjoyed Christmas Eve, all snuggled up together. :)

Santa brought Kylie a nerf bow and arrow. And she

couldn't have been more excited. :) She played with it

all day long!

Once Sidney finally woke up, they got to open

their stockings.

Sidney hugged pretty much everything that came out of the

stocking.....and every present she opened the night before too. :)

Watching A Christmas Story and eating

monkey bread and drinking cocoa for breakfast.

And still practicing. :)

Thank you to everyone who helped make the girls' Christmas so wonderful this year! Even though we didn't get to see anyone over the holiday, thank you for taking the time to get the girls gifts. They have been loving everthing! And we greatly appreciate you guys thinking of them.

I know it's already the end of January, but I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
