Its Christmastime!!!!

So its Christmas time! We are doing all the fun Christmassy stuff. The other day it was raining....as usual so we made some cookies. Vanessa was really into it. She liked the mixing and measuring. She drowned them all in icing. You can tell which ones are hers. You can't even see any cookie. Logan was content to just eat our creations. He had fun cutting out the shapes. After that I had to keep a close eye on the stove or he was going in after them.

They had fun and liked the eating part the best. I eventually had to take the cookies away or they would have eaten them all right there. We also went to the grotto. There is a Catholic church here that strings lights and nativity type decorations all over their property. They say they have over a million lights. It was gorgeous.

Everybody always fusses that I am not in the pics so here I am in one. I hope you are happy, and yes my hair is different. I needed low maintenance for the next nine months.


I wish Vanessa had smiled. Logan sure gave it all he had. She was eating or drinking in almost every picture I took. Whatever.

Here are all the kids looking cute. They had a blast. They watched a puppet show and there was also a petting zoo with a llama named Milo. Milo and Dan were quite close. I am almost positive that llama wanted Dan's tasty looking hat. Every time he looked up that llama was in his face trying to kiss him. Dan is the llama whisperer.So that is what we have been up to. I am taking part in our Christmas play and Vanessa has a program coming up which promises to be entertaining. We are a busy bunch this time of year aren't we?

The cookies look awesome! I love that you give them projects to do. You are the best mommy! The lights look so pretty, I am sure they were amazing in person.
