Cookie time and Church

On Christmas Eve, Nathan was finally getting his cast off his leg so I had Kailyn and Alex at my house in the morning. My mom and I decided we'd let the kids make some sugar cookies. It was quite a mess but we had such a good time making them and playing with the dough.


Frosting the cookies didn't go quite as well as I had planned. Will sat down and took a huge bite out of his cookie instead of frosting it. Once I explained that we'd eat them later he did a little better but I did see him sneaking a bite every so often.

Morgan on the other hand was all about eating and not at all about decorating. She dug right in to this cookie and as you can see, really enjoyed the frosting!

Kailyn was the one that enjoyed the decorating the most. I didn't get a great picture of her but she was very detailed on each of her cookies and made quite the masterpieces!

It's a tradition in our family to go to church on Christmas Eve. Before we had the kids we'd always go to the 8pm candlelight service....but that isn't an option with these two kiddos. So we dressed them up and headed to the afternoon "kid" service. It's made just for kids and includes a puppet show and lots of kid friendly songs, etc.
