Update #1

It has been quite a busy couple of weeks and I thought I do some brief updates since I have been a bit behind and bring myself (and of course, all few of my readers--thank you for keeping me motivated) up to date before the new year! So here you have it, update #1...

Remember when our niece came to visit us a couple weeks ago...click here. Well, a couple weeks later, here are some of the pictures from our fun-filled weekend!

Baking cookies was quite the day project...

mixing the dough....

and of course, had to test it out!

Some laughs...

a visit to see Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus...

smiles...

baking the cut-outs...

and finally, it was time to decorate!

It seems the best part was sneaking a bite of the icing!

A finished cookie I made of course, for my favorite niece!

And here we are still standing...

after an enjoyable packed weekend of a basketball game, singing, dancing, cookies, McDonald's, Christmas lights, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, a bath-time of getting Uncle Matt and Aunt Kristi soaked with water squirters, and a trip to the movies to see the new Disney movie-The Princess and the frog-I would say the weekend was a success!
