Last Days Before Christmas

Joseph "helped" Mommy make some fudge. Here he is complete with marshmallow fluff face and fudge hands.


On Dec. 23rd, the kids decided to write some "letters" to Santa. There was soon a pile of about 20 envelopes under the Christmas tree. If these envelopes look funny, you are right. They are all junk mail return envelopes. I stash them all in a drawer for their letter writing fits.


The stockings are hung by the chimney with care!



Then, on Christmas Eve day, we made sugar cookies! The kids watched while I rolled out the dough.



Then it was attack! Everyone jumped in with cookie cutter in hand. It got a little crazy. Catherine rolled out and made a few of her own, and we baked hers on that little baking sheet.




Later in the day, we decorated the cookies. Mommy iced them and then the kids put on the sprinkles.


As many sprinkles as those poor little cookies would hold. And then some. The kids all loved it.
