Holiday Fun . . .

We had a very busy weekend filled with all kinds of parties!!! Friday night Jody and I went to my office Christmas party and left the girls with my parents. Mom and dad took some pictures of the night to share . . .
Eating is good at Grandma and Grandpa's . . . chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, egg rolls, taquito's etc.
Mom bought a gingerbread house kit for them to build . . .
They each got to decorate a side . . .
I think they forgot to take a picture of the finished product . . .I will have to get one :o)
Here is dad reading the girls some Christmas stories . . .

Saturday morning we headed to moms house for a day of baking . . . we made drop sugar cookies (my favorite), thumb print cookies (dad's favorite), fudge, pumpkin chocolate chip bread, cinnamon almonds and rice krispie treats.
Autumn and I made the drop sugar cookies . . . while mom and Haylee worked on cinnamon Almonds!!
Making thumb print cookies

The girls had lots of fun frosting the sugar cookies and decorating them with icing and sprinkles.
Haylee had a "crazy hair" birthday party to go to at 3pm, so mom helped me fix Haylee's hair!
We put a baby bottle in her hair to make it stand up and the colored it with blue stripes. It turned out really cute!!!

Sunday afternoon we went to my Aunt Misty's for our annual BINGO party. I forgot my camera, so dad has all the pictures from that event . . .I will post them once I get them. It was a fune weekend, but I am beat!

Serving Him,
Jess
