Cookie Making Christmas 2011

Most years we go a little crazy making Christmas goodies. This year we took it easy and only made a few things, but we still had lots of fun!

 

Merry Christmas!

Friday Favorite: Cece Style

I don't know where she gets it.....

*Weekend Wrap Up*

Yesterday Ellie made a top 5 list of her weekend. So here it is..... Ellie's Top Five List!

#5 Getting to Sleep with Mom on Thursday night.
*Tim traveled to Minnesota for a wrestling meet on Friday night. When Daddy is gone the girls get to sleep with mom...it's a treat. The overabundance of blankets and stuffed animals made it not the best nights sleep in the world for me.

#4 Watching Elf on Sunday afternoon.
*Elf is a favorite around our house!

#3 Playing in the Snow on Friday afternoon.
*Ellie, Cece and the neighbor kids piled up enough snow to create a sledding shoot. They had a great time playing in the 1.5 inches of snow.

For some reason it turned my picture upside down....I thought it was funny so I left it that way:)

#2 Eating Chinese
*Ellie and Cece had their church Christmas program on Sunday morning. Because they were the performers we let them decide on lunch. They both chose Hy Vee Chinese! It was yummy! Grandma, Grandpa, Nana and Aunt Emily came to watch the program. Both Ellie and Cecilia did a great job at their concert. It had been a rough morning (Cece's was having shoe issues) so heading to church we had very low expectations of her performance. I taught her Sunday school class so I was with her during rehearsals where she would not leave my side. After rehearsals she had a snack, a drink and a much needed potty break. She went out for the performance and poured-it-on! She was singing and doing the actions! She did fall down a few times. She told us "her feet were confusing." Ellie did a great job as well and was only mildly distracted by the big screen behind her:) 

#1 Going to work with Daddy.
*On Saturday afternoon the girls went to work with Tim while Emily and I did some Christmas shopping.
