Christmas Cookies

I decided that I needed something to boost me into the holiday spirit so I had a cookie party. This is the first time I have ever made rolled and cut cookies.(I always take cupcakes to Nate's and El's parties) It was so much fun and the kids were so cute decorating the cookies. El made everyone she knew a cookie and then was expecting us to take the cookie to that person. She got a little upset when that did not happen. We will have to make more to go around the neighborhood. Nate was very precise in his cookie decorating. Afterwards we went over to our good friends Kelly and Danae's house for some homemade stew! Thanks Kelly, he even sent some home with us. Then later Danae and I went to see Blindside, great movie!! I will even admit I cried a little. Great friends +Great Day +Great Movie=Just what I needed!

Thanksgiving

What a wonderful time of the year. I love the holidays!!! We had a great thanksgiving weekend, decorated our house for Christmas and Travis and Casie had us over to their house for Thanksgiving dinner. Casie is an amazing cook and she did everything!!! I felt bad, but honestly every time I mentioned bringing anything she would say "really you guys just need to show up and eat." Two things I am pretty good at, showing up and eating! I of course forgot my camera. I always forget my camera, my poor kids are not going to have any documentation of events in their lives. I need help.
