Get comfy if you plan on viewing all the pics in this post today!

We spent the afternoon at my Sis-In-Law's house baking and decorating cookies. Each little chef got their own hat! TOO cute!


It just doesn't get any better than this, now does it? {I love cookies!}

Jeremiah skipped the rolling/cutting/baking part as he felt he didn't need to get dirty from all the flour. So he played with Thomas instead...

Miss Kate, on the other hand, had a blast getting things going...
And Joshua? Sweet Joshua... he did what he loves to do these days: Suck on his finger and stuff his hands/feet up my sleeves or pant leg...

Kate getting her cookie groove on...

The serious cookie decorators...







(Frosting finger licking is serious business too!)

We decided this little cutie was the most professional looking with frosting on her face...

And Joshua... well he was still doing his own thing on the kitchen floor...

Creative Creations:



Joshua had the second most fun playing with all the singing/dancing snowmen...

And he took his many turns with Thomas as well...

This next one cracked me up because it looks like the sisters fighting over the cookies! But really it was sisters helping each other make room to put all the cookies...

And nothing like a good game of Sorry! before everyone had to head home...

And a really bad snapshot of our Charlie Brown tree...


I sometimes think I'd want a beautifully decorated tree with gorgeous delicate matching ornaments and ribbons... but then I would really miss the personal element our tree has. Like these goofy gold bells that I keep using because when we put up our first tree together, we only had these gold bells to decorate with!


And the ornaments the boys get to reflect their lives that past year. Like this one from the year Jeremiah was obesssed with plastic food...



My "theme" was going to be blue and silver. But things never seem to turn out as I imagined them. So just pretend it was uber lovely this year! lol



And if you scoot back and squint your eyes real good... this is what the tree looks like. lol


Wow, you made it through the whole post?!?!? What a dedicated blog stalker you are! Sorry for the image overload. And it's not even Christmas yet! Well, technically it is Chrismas Eve since I am not in bed yet... bad girl.

And just so you know, we didn't do the Christmas card thing this year. I got too busy with life and work and kids and school and stuff... and it seems no one else around here knows how to pick up a box of cards from the store either. Sooooooooo... I'm thinking March is typically uninteresting and wouldn't that be a fun surprise to get a cute card from the Fowlers then? Hmmmm... keep an eye out...

Merry CHRISTmas!!!! God Bless!
