Christmas Cookies, ornaments, and other randomness

I am obsessed with the new panoramic feature on my phone

Eating a little Whipped Cream

 Reading an Easter book at Christmas time

 My friend Jesslyn and I hosted a Christmas Cookie party

 It was very fun...and tasty!  This is the cookie decorating competition.  Very serious.

 My cookies.  I did not win:( 

 Deb's cookies.  She did not win either:(

 Natalie gave up decorating and just put the icing on straight from the bag:)  Can't blame her, it is Costco Icing!

 Carter gave it a try when everyone was gone.

 He decided you didn't even need the cookie, just go straight for the icing on the spoon.  That's my boy!

 It was very messy

 I bought balloons for the party and then forgot to put them outside.  Carter loves balloons so he was happy about my mistake.

 A little cabinet fun

 Decorating ornaments

 another messy venture

People will have to wait to see the finished product!

To Tulsa we go in the morning!  Pray for the weather man to be wrong or it is going to be a tough drive to Denver:(

Geegaw and Grandma!

Johnny and Terry came up to visit this last week!  Carter loved spending time with them and cried when they left.  They played, played, played all day long on Thursday and Friday.  I think all parties were worn out from all that playing:)  Grandma Clee even made cranberry nut bread, one of Niles's favorite holiday traditions.  After Carter got through his screaming over eating he once again said, "Yum" and ate the whole thing.  Can't wait for that stage to be over.  I think I am being paid back for all the times my Braum's hamburger wasn't cooked plain and dry and I may have thrown a small, very quiet fit.  Payback time now. A few pictures:)

A little adventing.  This was Ashley and I's calendar when we were kids.  Carter is enjoying it.  He likes to move the mouse and point out Santa and the puppy (which is really a reindeer:)

 Geegaw acted out all the nursery rhymes in this book

Reading, reading, Reading

and more reading:)

Attempt at getting 3 boys under 3 to take a good pic...Cayle, Carter and Mack!

Christmas party!  They always host at the Back Bowl in Eagle.  It is really nice.  Carter was fascinated by the bowling and LOVED doing it himself!
