This year, we had a new helper. Usually she is napping while be bake. Not this year!
How cute is this little red head? Have I told you that she is going to be a big sister? Yes!!!! It is true! Sam and Marc are expecting baby #2 some time mid June. Next Christmas we will have a new baby in the house! Whoo hoo!!!!
Such a big helper!
So we spent Friday afternoon rolling and cutting out the cookies. Sam is always a great help in baking them so I don't have to run back and forth to the oven the whole time. After 9 years - we make a great team!
Love!!!!
On Saturday night we all sat around the table to decorate. We had a very special guest this year!!!
Can you see who it is????
Emily came all by herself for the weekend! It was so good to have her spend this time with us. She flew in on Friday and went back home on Sunday. It was a quick trip but soooo much fun!
Uncle Russell isn't much for decorating cookies - he enjoys eating them more. But he is a great help for when the little ones get bored. If you could have heard the high pitched dialogue going on between Ariel and Rapunzel - it was AWESOME entertainment while we iced cookies!
Not too bad!!!!

On Sunday, the children's choir at our church put on their Christmas musical.
The Secret of Snowflake County
Anne had several different rolls and boy, did she have fun....
She was a ballerina snowflake
A country line dancer - this was her first solo ever. She did a great job!!!!
"Glory to God on High!"
She had a speaking part as a Wise Man
A Tap Dancing Wise Man
Our favorite was this one - the Silent night rapper
She's a nut. Loved EVERY minute of it and did a GREAT job! When I was her age I would have rather hid in a corner somewhere. I LOVE her confidence.
Anne, Kaylin and Kierstin - Anne's BFF!
Kaylin and Kierstin were both baptized yesterday - so exciting!
Our Christmas is in full swing. The kids finish out school this week. Jarod's Science Fair project is complete and will be turned in today. Such a relief! Anne is busy with class parties. The Open House at her Dance Studio is this afternoon and Jarod's Scout Christmas party is tonight.
Christmas is extremely tight this year as we aren't spending money on gifts but saving it for our vacation to NC in between Christmas and New Years. We would rather create memories than add more unnecessary "stuff" to our lives.
Meggie's appointment went well on Friday. She passed her eye exam but still needs more drops. She has some unknown eye infection and they are trying to clear it up. Otherwise all is well.
Praying for the families in Connecticut. Can't even imagine the loss they are experiencing.
Closing out and reorganizing all my Apparent Project stuff for the year. Have some exciting news to FINALLY share with you soon - stay tuned!
Until next time......
