We had a little Christmas party with the kids and their friends, and what a surprise Santa showed up!

What a great Santa!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! Santa came to check on the kids.

Santa took his time with all the kids. He even got to read Alex's letter he wrote to to him!

Alex loved to see Santa. Monique wasn't to sure.

All the kids got cool cookies with their names on them! Thanks Paula

Mike with twin girls! He's in trouble.

They loved the cake pops!

Thanks for stopping by Santa! We love you.

Making Cookies

We made cookies so we could send some to David and of course for us to eat too!


The kids love to do this.

Trying not to smile.

We didn't use frosting, but used a lot, I mean a lot, of sprinkles!

There are cookies under here somewhere.

This mean all of our cookies come out looking all the same, but still good.

Decorating Cookies

We got invited to go to The Other Monique's mom's house to decorate cookies in our pj's! Monique and her mom made tonssssss of cookies the night before so all the kids had enough cookies to decorate. The kids loved this, decorating the old fashion way as we did when we were kids. I am not ready for this mess at my house yet! Thanks Monique for including us. :)

Cheese...these are a naked cookies.

Getting right to work.

They are working so hard and could stop to look up for a picture.

He couldn't keep his eyes off his cookie.

Alex: I made that one!

We played outside for a bit to get all the sugar out of their system.
