December Daily: December 9....Cookies and Ornaments...Oh My!!!


















The girls and I had such a great time yesterday making all kinds of yumminess, we decided to do it again today. It was way too cold to do much of anything else anyway so I called today a half day of school and we got busy again. Before we hit the kitchen we gathered around the table and made ornaments. We tied these to the packages that we gave out to our neighbors. The ornaments are made out of wire and beads and every member of our family made some. I love activities that we can ALL do together. Once we head into the kitchen we lose Derek and I like to work with just one kid at a time so I don't get overwhelmed and start freaking out have one on one time with each of my girls. Today we made more spritz, another batch of chocolate drops, Miranda made fudge, we got things ready for Peanut Butter Blossoms (tomorrow) and tonight we made sugar cookie cutouts for our YW activity. I am pooped. All in all a very productive day. Stay warm.
