sugar, icing, sprinkles...and one big mess!!

Christmas cookies and a gingerbread village!!! Jami and her gang came over and we did our " annual" cookie decorating...and I thought a gingerbread village would be fun for the kids. Those things are hard to put together!! Next year I think I'll just buy 2 big ones for them to decorate together. :)






of course Lakin has to have a dress or skirt for EVERY occasion...and she decided this one was perfect for cookie decorating :)














awwww.....LOVE them together!! It really makes me feel a little weepy when I see pictures like this (*sob*). Can't wait until they can look back at them as adults!!



holding each others hands so they don't fall :)










Such a sleepy baby!! No nap and lots of excitement and chaos = this sad, sad face ;(


Love this face!!












The girls worked so hard on putting the little candies on the roof...only to take them off and eat them!! I'm pretty sure this is the second round of decorating






Yes...that is rice that Dawson is holding.....Yes that is wrapping paper behind him....yes I bought him rice and wrapped it!! Every year he usually has one food he's crazy about, so I buy him some for Christmas and wrap it...this year it was rice ;)











See that little "angel" hanging out behind the table saying "shhhhh"???? She's the one who did this..just so she could climb in the basket


















Finished products...well...some of them..some of them from a certain little girl ( lakin) were so covered in icing and sprinkles, they couldn't even make it to the plate. She seems to over do it a bit ;)

Christmas 2010

Sorry in advance about the quality ( or lack of) in my pictures. I left my Nikon in the car the night before and it was coooolllllldddd....which means I couldn't use it because it was fogging up :( Luckily I have my small canon..however, it tends to make people look a little cartoonish at times and just doesn't compare to my usual camera ;)


BINKIES!BINKIES!BINKIES!



















This was a present from Vern..he made him open it first. Thought it would be funny...i'll admit..the look on Gavin's face was funny. He thought he got one of Emma's gifts ;)
