Cookies with Friends

Tuesday  night after a long day of playing outside, some of the neighbor kids ended up at my house watching TV. Trenton decided he wanted to make cookies so I thought it would be fun to let everyone in on the fun. I always have sugar cookie dough on hand because it is such an easy and fun project for Trenton to do! I had a few aprons, rolling pins and cookies cutters (for all holidays!). Everyone had there piece of dough and they were so good about sharing the cookie cutters. We are so happy to have such good neighbors!

She is like the daughter I never had. She is such a super helper and really holds her own with all these boys!

Nana’s Christmas Party

Every year my Mom’s job has a Christmas party for the employee’s kids. They have pictures with Santa, art projects to make, cookies, candy and a gift! It means a lot to my Mom to get to show off all of her grandkids (12 to be exact!). It’s pretty busy and chaotic and with a newborn in my arms very little pictures were taken, but here we go:

My handsome man after meeting his 2nd Santa of the year!

Later that evening Gene and I went to a wedding so my Mom and Dad kept the boys! PaPa really loves his grandbabies! How cute and comfy does Trace look! We are so blessed to have my parents live so close. We have really needed them a lot for holiday parties, weddings and other fun events!
