Christmas Cookies

Ben helped me make sugar cookies this afternoon. We wanted to have some to leave out for Santa...and eat some of course. I made the dough while he was in school and had it all ready for us to cut out the shapes this afternoon. I hoped that Lucy would take a nap through all of it, but that didn't happen. She joined us from her high chair for the decorating part.

 Taking his first shape from the cookie cutter.
 He made a star. I love how he is so proud of it. :)
 Ben did a great job cutting out his shapes.
 He enjoyed rolling out some of the leftovers to make more cookies.
 Licking the beater from making the frosting.
 Plenty of cookies for our family to eat!
 The sprinkle part was a big of a mess, but nothing that the vacuum couldn't fix.
 Thumbs up for one yummy cookie.
 Lucy watched us from her high chair while she ate some Cheerios.
I found this picture on the camera from last week. Lucy makes a pretty cute Luigi, don't you think? :)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
