Seeing Santa and Decorating Cookies

We've taken Kate to see Santa three times already this year - she's obsessed with the idea that you can actually talk to him. Carter doesn't seem to mind either, probably because he's too young to know the difference as to whether or not he's scared. But Liz isn't too sure about the jolly big guy! She loves to talk about seeing him and talking to him and she's all ready to do it until we actually get there and then she cries and is so scared. But she was pretty excited about the candy can and coloring book she got - so I guess it turned out OK. Maybe things will change next year! We also decorated sugar cookies with friends and that was real fun. As you can see - most of the cookies were made of sprinkles, sprinkles, and more sprinkles! Liz went straight to the source and started sucking on a bottle of sprinkles! She thought they were GREAT! I missed getting a picture of it but it was pretty funny... and very cute! I love Christmas time!

How fun! I've been wanting to make sugar cookies. I need to get in the Holiday baking mood. I love how Carter was pulling on Santa's beard, so cute.

I just saw your post about Thanksgiving and I can't wait till next year. Just incase you wanted to know Colton threw up 2 times on our way home (sorry if that's TMI)! We made it home though and the next day Evan and Andrew got sick. It only lasted for one day, thank goodness.

Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas! I can't wait to see pictures of your girls opening their gifts. Only 13 more days! WhooHoo!
