Christmas break


Christmas break has begun! I have to say I am looking forward to having Jennifer home for a few days. As we get ready for spending time with our families we of course had to do some baking. It is always nice to do a little baking on a snowy day and it seems we have had a lot of those lately.
The girls getting ready to make sugar cookies. Even Mikayla was going to get in on the action this year!

Jennifer was very fun to watch. She of course had to do everything "all by myself, go away mom, scoot over mom, all by myself". She did a great job rolling out the dough, cutting them out and getting them on the pan. Very fun to watch her having so much fun!

Bill gave Mikayla her own little piece of dough. At first she wasn't too sure what to do with it.

But eventually she realized what the dough was all about... eating it of course!
We had to take the dough away after a few minutes because she was getting a little carried away, she would have eaten a lot if we would have let her. Very cute to watch her!

Showing off a star.
Love the giggles and smiles from this sweet girl!
And what can I say about this sweet baby... I love her smiles and giggles too.

Not sure where we went wrong but by the time we were done we had a mess on our hands. Jennifer was slightly messy
and well lets just say the table had to be wiped down several times before it was really clean. (Mikayla is having some crackers, don't worry she did not eat cookie dough the entire time.)
For supper later that evening Mikayla fed herself mashed potatoes. Once again we had a mess on our hands. The pictures don't really do it justice but her hair was out of control sticking out from all the potatoes that were in it. Even messy she is cute!
