Decorating Cookies

This year we decided to have a decorating party. On a friday afterschool, the kids next door and one from across the street, with their moms, came over to decorate some cookies. I baked some the day before and Jennifer baked some, while Daniele provided some tasty frosting.

The kids had lots of fun decorating Santa's, Trees, Bells, Angels & Stars. They were a yummy snack for after school.

2011 Christmas Tree

This year Chris and Caleb got final vote on the tree. So we ended up with a 10ft tree, that took 4 men to get into our house. The kids and I decorated the bottom 6 ft of the tree and then Chris took over and got the last 3-4 ft. With the beautiful lights and ornaments on, it filled the window and shone brightly every night.
