We decided to spend the day outside on Saturday. For once we got above 20 and my son is 95% back to normal. So after a few weeks of cabin fever we ventured outside to build ourselves a snowman and do some sledding. We have some crazy/funky faces for our pumpkins at Halloween time, so I pulled those out and used them on our snowman. We named him Billy Bob and I think Gavin was a little scared of him. I kept asking him to stand next to him so I could take a picture of them together and he wouldn't do it. OH well! Overall he had a great time and I am glad that the weather is a little nicer now!
Sunday was our annual baking Christmas cookies day with my family. It is always a good time, until we realized we nixed out the only cookies Greg could eat. He was not a happy camper when he realized this, but oh well! I told him I would make him his very own batch. And that is asking a lot from me, since they are Peanut Butter balls and I don't like peanut butter! As always, the kids had a wonderful time decorating (yea right!) the cookies and I snapped some pics of them and of course the winners in the contest we have every year. (We pick one of every kids, then go around the room and vote.) This year, the big winner was Pyper, she got a $1. That is how we get them to decorate, BRIBE THEM!
(The winning cookie is the bottom left side Santa- Beautiful! It was a struggle from keeping some of the younger kids from eating every cookie they decorated!)
(This is my son, doing god knows what, while the rest of the kids were decorating.)
Unsure if I will post again before the holiday, we are celebrating Christmas this entire weekend with my side of the family. This will be the first year IN MY LIFE, that I will be leaving Colorado for Xmas. We will be heading to Nebraska next Wed. for 5 days! Should be a good time. Just a little hard for me....
Have a wonderful Holiday!
