Let it snow?!

Since this was our last Christmas in St Louis before our move to Florida, the kids were really looking forward to a White Christmas.  We got sunshine and 48 degrees instead.

This morning we woke up to a light dusting of snow on the ground.  Ella was determined that this snow was not going to go to waste!

Cookies for Santa

Every year on Christmas Eve we decorate cookies and leave some for Santa.  We usually make gingerbread cookies, but the kids don't like the way they taste, so this year we just made sugar cookies.  We always have fun and I love how the finished products reflect everyone's personalities.

 

Chris made a grinch cookie but I think it got eaten before I managed to get a picture!
