Merry Christmas!

Our Holiday in photos:

Christmas Eve the kids helped me bake and decorate some Christmas cookies. Thanks to my friend Kelly's recipe, we enjoyed some delicious treats. I found a cream cheese frosting online that was the perfect compliment to these sweet goodies. I think this was the first batch of cookies I have made that stayed soft.



Then, after the cookies were done, my big sis called to ask me to stop by to pick up a gift she had for me. Turns out my wonderful brother in law has been busy making me a scrap cabinet! This thing is beautiful. He made one for my sister a few years back and I have been drooling over it since. They really surprised me by making this, and I LOVE it.


It's quite tall, and has several shallow drawers that pull out so I can store stamps, bottles, papers, and other bits of scrappy goodness. There is space at the bottom for a tote, a basket, or albums. Thanks Glen!!! I love it!

Christmas morning I managed to snap a quick picture before we tore into our Holiday treasures. Notice their cute new Christmas Eve PJ's.


Notice how both pictures of Luke, he is holding a marshmallow rope. Did you get your Christmas card from us yet? Luke loves Christmas, and candy. Here he was mad because I wouldn't open the candy.

Ella got sponge curlers in her stocking. I put them in two different times. But she wouldn't sleep with them in... poor girl has my hair, so fine and won't hold a curl.

Jed LOVES Eggnog.

Ella got a makeup case. She is quite the glamour girl.

So is Jed.

We are off for a couple more days of holiday festivities!
Merry Holiday!

Looks like you had a good Christmas. Nice cabinet. I'm sure it will be well used. You are the third person to tell me you used my cookie recipe. I'm glad you liked them.
