The other night as Carson and I were driving in the car I asked him what his favorite part of Christmas was. He thought for a moment and then said he wasn't sure. I shared that when I was younger my favorite part was thinking about all of the presents I might receive, but now I am grateful for time I can spend with family. With family time in mind, I invited my parents, my brothers and their families over to our house last night for some Christmas cookie making and decorating. I think it is safe to say that our house has not heard that level of noise in quite awhile. But the kids had a great time, grandpa got to direct the process, Carson and Dave entertained and the rest of us grown-ups just sat around and watched the chaos. It was awesome.
Josie enjoying the fire, not having the first clue about what will be happening at our house in just a few short hours
Grandpa helping each child get a turn cutting out cookies
There were some who were more interested in the trains than the cookies
One kiddo was just too tiny to participate
Sometimes we left the kids on their own to decorate with Josie to supervise
Uncle Dave got in on the decorating action at the very end
Some of the finished products
I have an awesome life...just wish I could eat the cookies. I heard they were delicious.
